9D3 is an experimental music researcher from the MIT Media Lab. In the academic field he was rewarded for publishing avant-garde musical instruments at various conferences, where he is also known for introducing the idea of fragile instruments, a series of instruments that can only be played through the act of destruction. Although he’s still currently a graduate student pursuing his Ph.D at the Responsive Environments group, 9D3 is also looking to go outside the boundaries of academia with his music as a live Techno performer. His passion towards drum machines was recently combined with his obsession in modular synthesizers, propelling him into an ephemeral sonic journey that can only be summoned in the presence of a great crowd.
