Collected here are video and audio examples of some of Allen's work. He is the co-founder (with Kathleya Afanador) and the composer/programmer for Armadillo Dance Project, and he is the Director of Music for the Cornell University Dance Program. Before working at Cornell he served as music director for the Central Pennsylvania Dance Workshop / Pennsylvania Dance Theater in State College, Pennsylvania. He received his BS from the Pennsylvania State University and his PhD from Cornell University, both in mathematics, and has studied music composition with Burt Fenner, Steven Stucky, and Karel Husa, and dance composition with David Gordon. He has composed music for dances choreographed by Kathleya Afanador, LaRue Allen, Chris Black, Jumay Chu, June Finch, Peggy Lawler, Joyce Morgenroth, Jim Self, Byron Suber, and others.
