Lucas Kuzma

Lucas Kuzma is a Berlin-based musician, software developer and researcher. Through The Strange Agency he built a family of touch-based granular synthesizers for iOS, like MegaCurtis, Soup, Donut, and Open Granular, that treated recorded sound as a malleable physical material. His recent work turns neural networks into musical agents. Small Network evolved a 256-neuron spiking network into a compositional engine, released as the The Psychic Geometries Trio’s Sonic Mandala, while Folded Bodies (ICCC 2026) is an audiovisual instrument whose performer sculpts a spiking network by folding the geometry it lives on. He holds an MFA in Design | Media Art from UCLA and an MS in Audiovisual Media Technologies from Universitat Pompeu Fabra, where he worked on real-time concatenative synthesis with the Music Technology Group.
