Phil Edelstein

Phil Edelstein is a founding member of Composers Inside Electronics. He has collaborated on the Rainforest IV project since its inception in 1973 and the evolution of the automated installation version Rainforest V. His work involves compositions, software, and sound installations for architectural spaces, focused sound fields, and electronic imagery. Recent works have used fractals and data mining as compositional tools for construction of sound fields in work such as Fractology, the Chaos patches. For Impulsion, synthetic and encoded reverberant spaces are folded upon themselves and acoustically rendered.

He co-founded Electronic Body Arts (EBA), a collaboration between choreography, music, and engineering, and was one of the founding partners for Gilbert International, a software consultancy specializing in data communications systems and products.
