Warren is a native New Yorker currently residing in Montrose, Pennsylvania. He studied composition at Queens College (CUNY), architecture at the University of Cincinnati and Pratt Institute, Industrial Design at the NY Institute of Applied Arts and Sciences, and attended graduate seminars in experimental music and ethnomusicology at Weslyan University. Founder of Long Island's Furman School of Music, he taught piano and composition for many years before returning to art, and in 2002, once again to music.
Furman's scores have been performed in NY and PA, while his electronic music has been heard at festivals and over FM stations here and abroad. His most recent works are for chorus, (a synthesized version of fall-ing... is below) with and without instrumental accompaniment. Also A Little Music for the Chamber Made, a composition for chamber orchestra.
In 1998, upon discovering the remarkable similarities in the techniques used to create electronic music and digital art, he returned to visual art and now has well over two hundred paintings that have been exhibited extensively online and, more recently, in real world galleries.
An occasional software programmer (ezKEYS, MacMinder, RGBcolorWiz) as well as the designer of an array of geometric copper and glass "decorator" tables, Furman's diverse oeuvres are on display at his HiTechARTS.com website.
