Chris Kallmyer is a musician who works in art and design. He creates multi-disciplinary musical works that the New Yorker describes as “surprisingly complex” with the aim to “promote hopefulness and aid in resistance” (X-TRA Contemporary Art Journal). Kallmyer has performed and exhibited at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Walker Art Center, The Getty, Pulitzer Arts Foundation, San Francisco Symphony, Los Angeles Philharmonic, STUDIO TeatrGaleria in Warsaw, and the Fondation d'entreprise Pernod Ricard among other spaces in America , Europe, and Asia.

In 2021 he founded the R&D studio, Furniture Music, to seed new sounding projects for architectural applications, active listeners, and to promote social well being through sound. Through FM, Kallmyer has designed a fountain to mark the home of a blind artist, a listening garden for a music school, and a new line of sounding home goods for the iconic California design studio, Commune. Furniture Music has been celebrated in the New York Times, New Yorker, and LA Times for contributions to both music and architectural design. He is based in Petaluma, California.
