About

Composer, producer, and music technology researcher.

I’m Haoran Hou, a composer and producer based in New York. I studied Contemporary Writing and Production at Berklee College of Music and am pursuing an M.A. in Music and Music Education at Teachers College, Columbia University.

My research grows out of making music. I’m interested in how a gesture becomes a musical control, how software fits into a producer’s workflow, and how an assistant can learn from someone without taking over their decisions.
