Cliff Caruthers (Sycamore, Illinois, USA, 1969)
has been composing electroacoustic and experimental music since 1995, continuing to search for direct relationships to ever complexifying technologies.

An accomplished pianist and flutist, Mr. Caruthers is also the founding member and producer of Glacial Erratics, an improvisational group featuring a mix of electronic and original acoustic instrument constructions. Recent work also includes sound design of For Each and Every Part, a radio drama based on the death of Anton von Webern. In addition to composing experimental music, Mr. Caruthers also works as a sound designer with theaters throughout the bay area, including Transparent Theater, Aurora Theatre Company, Theatreworks, Marin Theatre Company, ACT Conservatory, and the California Shakespeare Festival. Mr. Caruthers holds an MFA in Theater Sound Design from the University of Missouri at Kansas City.
