Keith Fullerton Whitman, electronic musician extraordinaire, has performed in locales ranging from Berlin to Kyoto, made internationally acclaimed albums under two different aliases and earned the respect and awe of music makers and fans around the world. And he’s our next door neighbor...
When he moved to Boston in 1991 on a scholarship to study computer music at Berklee, he knew he wanted to live as close to Harvard as possible; now Whitman visits the Square at least twice a week. In May of 2001 he took part in an electronic music showcase in the Adams House squash courts. The next fall, he performed with a close friend Greg Davis at the Record Hospital Fest arranged by WHRB.

A Princeton economics major with a Harvard M.B.A., Whitman speaks in measured sentences, but her easygoing nature and sense of humor are evident, even when she reveals a foible: after having kicked her coffee habit for nine months, she admits she's hooked again. "Unfortunately, I'm back on caffeine," she says, laughing. And the whole company can feel...
