Jim Alexander is a composer, guitarist, and cellist. He writes acoustic and electronic music for dance, film, and live performance. His electronic music is often concerned with microtonality – in this case, scales finer than 12 tones per octave – as well as collage and timbral transformation. He mixes western ideas with non-western. He received an MA in composition from Mills College and plays processed cello in the electro-acoustic ensemble Cone of Confusion.
