Tarik Inman (he/him) is a Philadelphia-based composer and electronic musician working across acoustic instruments, voice, and live electronics. His work focuses on the voice, phonetics, semiotics, and social relations.

Inman’s music has been performed by Ensemble Mise-En, VICE Ensemble, Ensemble Dal Niente, and Temple University’s New Music Ensemble. He has performed electroacoustic work as part of the BEEP Ensemble.

Inman received his BS in Music Technology from Temple University in 2024 and is currently completing an MM in Composition at Temple University, where he has studied with William Dougherty, Maurice Wright, Erin Busch, Sam Wells, and Adam Vidiksis.
