Artist Statement:
Genuine do-it-yourselfers
become involved in all kinds
of neat and sloppy endeavors,
which might explain how I
became, amongst other things,
a computer programmer,
furniture designer, house and
piano rebuilder, businessman
and website designer . I've
also been a salesman,
handyman, soldier and tennis
pro, but prefer to think of
myself simply as one who
loves, and loves to create,
music and art.
My formal education has been
diverse, but to focus on
music, I received my B.A.
degree from Queens College, NY
(now SUNY) and some insights
into world music,
ethnomusicology and
experimental music at Wesleyan
University, CT.
My music has won a variety of
awards and prizes and has been
heard in concert, on FM
stations and at several
American music festivals.
About my Paintings:
Digital art is an
extraordinarily exciting new
medium that closely resembles
the digital revolution in
music and the way music is
created, recorded and
archived—so much so in fact
that I could not resist
applying some of the
techniques I use in composing
electronic music to my visual
art. Instant gratification is
nice, and I experienced much
of it at first, but as anyone
will tell you who has ...

Reviews for Warren Furman:

No art reviews yet, but here are a few about my music:
ERGO
"A welcome addition to any collector who enjoys electronic music."
IMU
" Flawlessly composed and executed, Furman has created a work of both timeless quality and universal appeal."
KEYBOARD
" ...occupies terrain into which few venture. Furman's music has a darker sheen. It draws out like a spider's web, with straight and triplet figures scampering past glacially shifting drones and tone clusters. With each new line, bundle of notes or gesture, a new structure emerges to create new and still-evolving contexts for the structure that preceded it. Throughout all of his work, a sense of mystery and restlessness prevails."
"Fascinating!"
—George Graham, WVIA-NPR
"I was very impressed. Your music expresses human feeling and a lyricism quite Latin!"
—Arnoldo Franchetti, composer
"I've just given another thorough listen to your KALEIDOSCOPE and had an absolutely moving experience with it. I especially like TwoSum, Canon and Satyricus. Satyricus is great!"
—Ronn Yedidia, composer
Hey Coach,
You've been hiding your genius a little too well on the courts all these years. This CD is the berries! I love it. Very enjoyable. Very inspirational, very energizing, very thought provoking, very "what the hell have I done with my life so far". It is definitely doing my Stinger justice. You certainly cover the scale from beautiful and sublime to raucous. And this is from a computer??? Jeez. You certainly would be at home in the concert venues at Bennington. You have made the future happen now. Thanks for the opportunity for me to glimpse toward the horizon. Sometimes for me electronic music can seem coldly mechanical. This seems to be expressing the age old notions of human emotions and ideas via today's most recent technological medium. There is a human being expressing something with these contemporary sounds, not some whizz bang kid saying " jeez, look at the noise I can make with this new fangled machine". You scored an ace coach.
Your newest fan,
—Peter Quigg, teaches at Bennigton
This was such a delightful and totally unexpected message from a new friend that I couldn't resist reproducing it here.
