My guest is Courtney Brown, she’s an Assistant Professor at Southern Methodist University in the Center for Creative Computation, a Fulbright scholarship winner, coder and musician who designs  instruments and composes  using a very unique medium, a dinosaur’s head. 

The  featured composition in todays episode was from the 2023 Hadrosaur Variations recorded at the New Music Edmonton’s, Now Hear This Festival. The composition was created using an older subadult Corythosaurus instrument. 

 Sharif Razzaque was Courtneytoday’slaborator for the fabrication. CT Scans were provided by Lawrence Witmer from Ohio University.
