Elaine Fefferman

Elaine (Lainie) Fefferman is Assistant Professor of Music and Technology at Stevens Institute of Technology, where she teaches electronic music and composition. As a composer-performer, her creative practice explores feminist reinterpretations of sacred texts through electroacoustic song cycles.

Key creative research areas:

• Electroacoustic vocal compositions using live processing
• Interactive performance systems with custom controllers
• Community-building through experimental music initiatives
• Interdisciplinary collaborations across music and technology

Her recent albums Here I Am (New Focus Recordings) and White Fire (Gold Bolus Recordings) exemplify her integration of electronic experimentation with narrative storytelling. She founded the New Music Gathering conference to foster dialogue within the contemporary music community.
