Jesse Harlin

As a musician, Jesse Harlin has been composing music for over fifteen years. With experience ranging from vocal work in an award winning electro-acoustic ensemble to performing bassoon in symhonic orchestras (and everything in between), jess eHarlin (stage name : the Simian) is informed by a wide range of influences. Currently, Jesse Harlin aspires to write music for electronic media, such as video games as well as continue to perform in live experimental electronic ensembles on a bizzare performance medium he has invented called the Cube. He is also currently experimenting with robotics that make music as well as with algorithmic compositon.

Harlin creates sound with self-made tools, hybrid compotitions of many electric and electronic devices. In his studio, The Cube and The Motherbrain are made up of many components including computers, nintendo game systems, synthesizers and of course lazers.

As an artist and designer, Jesse Harlin therefore seeks to fuse his musical and sound design training with a healthy dose fo video editing, robotics, programming and other things. Already he has designed new ways of making music and visual art.
