Scot Gresham-Lancaster (born 1954 in Redwood City, California) is an American composer, performer, instrument builder, educator and educational technology specialist. He uses computer networks to create new environments for musical and cross discipline expression. As a member of The Hub, he is one of the early pioneers of "computer network" music, which uses the behavior of interconnected music machines to create innovative ways for performers and computers to interact. He performed in a series of "co-located" performances, collaborating in real time with live and distant dancers, video artists and musicians in network-based performances.
Since 2006, he has collaborated with media artist Stephen Medaris Bull in a series of "karaoke cellphone operas" with initial funding provided by New York State Council for the Arts. He has worked in collaboration with Dallas theater director Thomas Riccio developing sonic interventions for many of his productions.
