The School of Music and Dance welcomes Chris Warren

The San Diego State University School of Music and Dance welcomes Chris Warren to the faculty this fall.

Chris Warren is a sound designer, digital composer, and creator of immersive sonic installations. His exhibits have been featured at the Museum of Making Music, NAMM, A Ship in the Woods, and the Havana Biennial and are currently on display at the Fleet Science Center.  

Dr. Warren's extensive research in acoustic measurement has produced EchoThief, a library of reverberation captured around North America. These sonic snapshots can be used to digitally reconstruct a broad spectrum of distinctive acoustic spaces: glacial caves, cathedral domes, abandoned artillery bunkers, and resonant caverns. EchoThief has been licensed to video games including Sony's Days Gone and Bethesda's Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus and has been featured in museum exhibits, audio production software, and sonic work around the globe.  

Dr. Warren performs with the group A Hundred Ghosts whose latest release, Beyond Space, can be heard on all streaming platforms. He is a resident artist at Space4Art where he also serves on the board of directors. His newest exhibit, From the Sound Up, is a hands-on exploration of sound synthesis where visitors create unique new timbres while learning about acoustics.  It will open at the Museum of Making Music on October 18, 2019.
