Jeffrey Hass (born November 24, 1953 in New York) is a contemporary American classical composer of acoustic and electroacoustic music ( computer music, electronic music).  He is best known for his compositions combining electronic soundtracks with solo instruments or with large ensembles such as wind ensemble [1] [2] [3] and orchestra.  Later in his career, he developed an interest in composing works for contemporary dance and ballet, often accompanied by visual projection. [4]  Several of his video works are for prerecorded dancers placed in a virtual 3D motion graphics environment [5] or for live interactive video projection based on dancers’ movements and actions. [6]

Hass was a composition faculty member at the Jacobs School of Music of Indiana University (retiring in 2019) where he served as Director of the School’s Center for Electronic and Computer Music from 1984-2019. [7]  He was also appointed Adjunct Professor of Dance Technology in 2007 and currently serves the Jacobs School as Professor Emeritus. [8] He is well-known as an educator in the field of computer music, with many of his former students such as Phillip Sink and Samuel Wells now directing facilities and teaching the subject as faculty members elsewhere. [9] [10]

Upon retirement, Hass produced an online electronic textbook, Introduction to Computer Music, [11] which has been adopted for courses around the world. [12] [13] He had previously served on the music faculty of Rutgers University-Newark and the Interlochen Center for the Arts.

Hass's acoustic compositions have been performed by the Louisville Orchestra, Memphis Symphony Orchestra, American Concerto Orchestra (Chicago), the U.S. Army Band and the Concordia Chamber Orchestra. [14] In addition, his electronic and video works have been performed both nationally and internationally at the Society for Electro-Acoustic Music in the U.S. ( SEAMUS), International Computer Music Conference (ICMC), New York City Electroacoustic Music Festival (NYCEMF), [15] Australasian Computer Music Conference (ACMC), New Interfaces for Music Expression ( NIME), World Dance Alliance Global Summit and the Matera Intermedia Festival MA/IN.

Education

Composition teachers included Richard Wilson, Robert Moevs, Frederick Fox, Donald Erb and Bernhard Heiden.
