Biographies
President – Cecilia Wu
Cecilia Wu takes on the role of ATMI President for the 2025–2027 term. A scholar, audio engineer, and music
technologist, Cecilia has been instrumental in advancing ATMI’s mission. Notably, she chaired the 2022 National Conference and launched the inaugural ATMI Concert, which has become a signature event showcasing creativity
and educational impact in electroacoustic music.
Vice President – Jason Fick
Jason Fick is a composer, collaborator, audio engineer, researcher, and educator actively working in the field of music technology. His music and intermedia have been performed at international, national, and local events, including the International Computer Music Conference (ICMC), the Society for Electro-Acoustic Music in the United States (SEAMUS), and International Tribunal on Fracking and Human Rights (Corvallis, 2018). As an engineer, he has recorded classical, jazz, and popular music in live and studio contexts, audio for film, and dialogue for various commercial projects. Several his recent Corvallis-area concert recordings have been played on classical radio stations in Oregon and throughout the country. His research on sonification, pedagogy of music technology, and concert reviews have been published by the Audio Engineering Society, International Community on Auditory Display, International Journal on Interactive Design and Manufacturing, and Array, the journal of the International Computer Music Association. He holds a Ph.D. in Music Composition and is currently Assistant Professor and Coordinator of Music Technology and Production at Oregon State University. Prior to arriving in Corvallis in 2016, he taught at Collin College and the Art Institute of Dallas. Jason currently serves as the President of the College Music Society–Pacific Northwest Chapter.
Secretary – Anthony Marasco
Anthony T. Marasco is a composer, sound artist, and instrument designer who takes influence from the aesthetics of today’s Digimodernist culture. His music and installations showcase emerging technologies to highlight their creative flexibility, combining interactive sensor systems and cyber-hacked circuit-bent hardware with modular synthesizers and tabletop sound computers. An avid builder and programmer, he creates electronic and augmented instruments as well as reactive and generative audiovisual software.
An internationally recognized artist, Marasco’s works have been featured at the Society for Electro-Acoustic Music in the United States (SEAMUS) conference, the Networked Music Festival, the MoxSonic Festival, the Toronto International Electroacoustic Symposium, the Electroacoustic Barn Dance, the New York City Electroacoustic Music Festival, Mise-En Festival, Montreal Contemporary Music Lab, and Omaha Under the Radar, and more. Marasco was the grand-prize winner of the 2013 UnCaged Toy Piano Festival’s Call for Scores, a resident artist at Signal Culture Experimental Media Labs, and a winner of the American Composers Forum Philadelphia’s “If You Could Hear These Walls” project. He’s received commissions from WIRED Magazine, the Elm Trio, smol ensemble, Phyllis Chen, Quince Contemporary Vocal Ensemble, Toy Piano Composers, and Maureen Batt.
Anthony’s research centers on developing collaborative and networked performance tools for electroacoustic music performance. He is a co-developer of Collab-Hub, a framework that lets remote, physically distanced performers share control of virtual and tangible instruments across the internet. His Bendit_I/O framework extends techniques native to the practices of telematic and network art to hacked hardware, incorporating old devices into new realities.
Marasco’s research has been featured at the top conferences in the music technology field such as the International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression, the Ars Electronica Festival, the International Computer Music Conference (ICMC), the Web Audio Conference, and the Association for Technology in Music Instruction Conference. His work has been supported by grants from the American Composers Forum Philadelphia and the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) Office of Faculty Success & Diversity. His accolades include an Emerging Scholar award from the UTRGV College of Fine Arts, an Alumni award for Creative Achievement from Lebanon Valley College, and the 2024 ICMC Best Paper award for his paper “MoNoDeC: the Mobile Node Controller for audience-involved sound diffusion” written in collaboration with Nick Hwang.
Dr. Marasco is Assistant Professor of Music Composition and Technology at Michigan State University’s College of Music. He earned a Ph.D. in experimental music and digital media from Louisiana State University, an M.M. in composition from Towson University, and a B.A. in music composition from Lebanon Valley College. He previously taught at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, The University of Scranton, and Pennsylvania State University.
