Clay Lewis is a freshman hoping to major in 21M (studying Music Technology in particular). He’s been producing as a hobby for about 10 years but started taking it more seriously within the last 2. He’s also been tinkering with things for a long time – a trait that he imagines many MIT students share – so anything to do with music and/or technology piques his interest!

Nina is a senior majoring in music. Her other interests include art, design, and building things, so she is very grateful to have been a founding member of Voxel Lab. Alongside her dog Moose, Nina can often be found in the iHQ at strange hours of the night- either in Voxel building more things for Studio38, or in Studio38 starting yet another project…

Lola Wolf is a senior in Course 6-3 minoring in Design. As a digital painter, her favorite pieces of equipment in the lab are the digital drawing tablets. She also enjoys creating collages, sewing, and laser-cutting.

FaMLE is a forum for the exploration of emerging digital musical practices, with a particular focus on collaborative music performance. We use a variety of software and hardware instruments to learn about current performance techniques, and ensemble members have the opportunity to create new compositions and instruments to explore their personal musical interests.

DAA@MIT (or DAAMIT) is home to many of MIT’s aspiring and experienced digital artists! Our club works to foster the digital arts community at MIT by providing people with the resources and peers needed to engage with digital art.

We are a new student group which seeks to promote the collaboration, education, and exchange of ideas among MIT community members interested in all aspects of music production.

We help organize Studio38 @ the Voxel Lab!
