About Scott Rubin:
Scott Rubin is an interdisciplinary artist, composer, and violinist. Rubin’s work investigates the relationship between sound and movement using analog and digital technology. He uses motion sensors and live video in collaboration with musicians and dancers, engaging themes of intimacy, neurology, performance, and control.

Since 2025, Rubin has been working on developing audio-reactive visuals for live performances and “Gushers,” a series of interviews with Chicago artists. He continues fostering creative relationships between performers and composers, as well as navigating how vulnerability, anxiety, and character creation appear in his performances.

Rubin holds bachelor’s degrees in music composition and psychology from the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, a master’s from McGill University, and a PhD from the University of California at Berkeley. He was awarded the McGill University Graduate Excellence Fellowship, the Florence Gould Foundation Scholarship from the European American Musical Alliance, and the UIUC School of Music Composition-Theory Area Achievement Award.

Thank you to everyone who came to the fourth and final performance of Tim Daisy's "Chrome Yellow!"

Congratulations to all the performers who have been a part of this residency over the past month. Special thanks to Tim Daisy, Mabel Kwan, and Scott Dean Taylor for creating such inspiring improvisations every Monday, and to for hosting.

More to come soon!
