Celeste Betancur is a researcher at Stanford University’s Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA), where her research explores the intersections of music, technology, and algorithmic composition. As a composer, digital artist, and live coder, her work spans a broad spectrum—from academic concert halls to underground electronic music scenes—emphasizing real-time score generation, live coding performance, and the development of interactive audiovisual systems. Her interdisciplinary practice includes the design and construction of expanded musical instruments, large-scale installations, and sculptures. Betancur’s compositions have been performed by internationally renowned ensembles such as A Far Cry, Leimay Ensemble, Distractfold Ensemble, Cinevivo, Andamio, Iran Sanadzadeh, Niloufar Shiri, Adapter Ensemble, RGGTRN, Linea Ensemble and many others. Beyond composition and performance, Betancur is an accomplished software developer specializing in music technology. She has contributed and is actively working for the ChucK programming language development. Her performances have taken place across more than 20 countries. She has presented her research at leading international conferences such as NeurIPS, ICLC, ICMC, SMC, and NIME, contributing to the ongoing dialogue at the intersection of music, computation, and artistic expression.
