My research activity reflects cross-disciplinary interests while intrinsically relating to my work as a composer and digital artist. My output as creative artist helps establish a framework for investigation in the realm of cultural theory, technology and design. My research into notions of design in Music and Architecture, led to fruitful work which has proven crucial to the discussion of new media forms such as interactive art installations.
In 1999, I initiated a collaboration with saxophonist Franziska Schroeder. Under the project “l a u t” we develop performance and research in digital media in the context of live and interactive environments. Recent research projects include AHRB (UK) funded work “Performance for saxophonist, video and real-time sound processing controlled by motion capture data” with Peter Nelson. This work has prompted theoretical research on the nature of gesture and mapping strategies. My research in the field of electroacoustic music is developed in composition for fixed media, live-electronics and multimedia works. Current projects include Co-me-di-a a EU Culture 2007 project in the area of Network Performance.
After being Director of Research of the Sonic Arts Research Centre I am currently Director of Education in the School of Music and Sonic Arts, Queen’s University Belfast.
