Alex Carpenter is an Australian artist and researcher living in New York City. He has performed and recorded extensively as a soloist playing guitar, keyboard and electric zither through a multi-amp and delay network he calls the "live audio delay system", and has also independently produced and coordinated several large-scale ensemble performance events under the moniker Music of Transparent Means.

Alex's most recent performance activity has centered on his own live video delay system, a visual counterpart to the audio system which employs multiple cameras and extreme colour isolation to facilitate a unique live layering of laser drawings. The system was first installed (privately) at New York's MELA Foundation in 2009, and continues to be shown in performance and on screen internationally.

Alex has performed alongside artists such as Francisco Lopez (Madrid), Will Guthrie (Melbourne), Kyle Bobby Dunn and Richard Lainhart (NYC), at venues such as Diapason, Issue Project Room, Pianos, LMAKProjects, The Tank and Microscope Gallery. Alex is active as a sound engineer, and has been awarded internationally for his film composition.
