I am a composer and Professor in Computer Music. I have composed a number of symphonies and an opera. And I had the privilege to share the stage with BBC Concert Orchestra, BBC Singers, Jarvis Cocker, American beatboxer Butterscotch, and a few other great artists.
I am head of the Interdisciplinary Centre for Computer Music Research (ICCMC), which I created at the University of Plymouth in 2004. Today ICCMR is internationally known for its pioneering research and for making a difference in the world.
I studied for a degree in computing, but I have always been passionate about music. While at university I played in a few pop bands and sang in a choir.
As soon after I graduated, I worked as a systems analyst for a large corporation. It was a great job. I had a promising career ahead. But I realized that it was not for me. I decided to follow my passion for music. I resigned and went back to college to study for a music degree. I soon figured out that I could use my computing skills to create music! Nobody else knew how to use computers to make music – not even my teachers. The rest is history. In the 1980s I became a pioneer of using Artificial Intelligence to compose music.
Before I moved to Plymouth I worked as a research scientist for Sony Computer Science Lab in Paris. I speak 4 languages and have worked at universities in 5 different countries.
Plymouth is a great place to live and work. I walk to the office. There are great beaches in the area. Lots of nature. That’s a no-brainer.
I wish I had the opportunity over 20 years ago to study the courses and research programmes that I helped to create here in Plymouth. It is a privilege to be able to share my experience and knowledge with our students, who come from all over the world.
My present academic duties include:
- Head of the Interdisciplinary Centre for Computer Music Research (ICCMR)
- School of Humanities & Performing Arts Post-Graduate Research Coordinator
- ResM in Computer Music Programme Leader
- Research Mentoring for Music, Theatre and Performing Arts
- Principal Investigator, EPSRC-funded RadioMe Project
I have supervised 13 doctoral students to successful completion at the University of Plymouth within the last 10 years.
Should you wish to join ICCMR to study for a postgraduate degree under my supervision, please do not hesitate to contact me to discuss your interests.
Also, I have considerable experience with post-graduate external examinations, with 34 PhD theses examined worldwide within the last 10 years.
Should you be interested in appointing me to conduct an examination at your institution, please do not hesitate to contacting me to check availability.
