Jeff Bowen

Since 1985, Jeff Bowen and his staff at Bowen Technovation have designed and installed audio-lighting-control systems and shows in more than 300 domed theaters worldwide. As a composer and system designer, he has pioneered many new concepts of synchronized digital audio and video for sound
recording, planetarium, and exhibit applications. He speaks often to student groups, and conducts sound design workshops at numerous planetarium, video production, and museum conferences. His 400 page CD-ROM interactive book "Becoming a Computer Musician" (published by Macmillan Computer Publishing in English and Spanish) became a resource often used in collegiate electronic music courses.

Jeff and his staff develop and/or manufacture many of their own equipment and software technologies and among notable projects have designed and installed systems on all contents (except Antarctica!) including projects in England, China, Mexico, Ireland, Canada, India, Egypt, Jordan, and throughout the USA and Europe. One of their large scale 100-exhibit museum projects was selected for the ProA/V Magazine Top Ten Award for Sound System Design.

As an Emmy award-winning show producer and composer, Jeff has designed soundtracks for more than 100 educational TV programs and served as producer of the first three panoramic video multimedia shows to be designed for the very first Spitz Electric Sky Immersive Visualization Theatre at Northern Lights Centre in the Canadian Yukon. He is honored to have been named as a Fellow by the Great Lakes Planetarium Association and the International Planetarium Society.
