Seth Cluett (born 1976, Troy, New York) is a composer and visual artist whose work includes photography, drawing, video, sound installation, concert music, and performance. His pieces are an exploration of the role of sound in everyday life, engaging the boundary between the auditory and the other senses as an active field of experience for the audience.

His compositions and installations are characterized most often by their minimal use of sine tones and drones as an auditory canvas to create a space in which other sound elements can operate. His work frequently includes unaltered field recordings as well as homemade analog electronics. Some of his work could be described as saturating and immersive, while other pieces exhibit a careful placement of sonic objects in a manner much closer to musique concrète. All of his work is marked by close attention to perception specifically regarding the role that sound plays in the flexible experience of time and space. He has collaborated with Pauline Oliveros, Michael Schumacher, Stephen Vitiello, Steve Roden, the BSC, and Clogs, as well as choreographers DD Dorvillier and Hélène Lesterlin amongst others.
