Andy Dolphin - a composer & digital artist currently working as a lecturer in Music, Sound & Performance at Leeds Met University, UK, and in the final stages of completing a PhD at SARC (Sonic Arts Research Centre), Queen's University in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Previously I worked as a music technology lecturer (HE & FE) for 6 years at Northbrook College, Worthing and as a visiting lecturer at the University of Brighton. I completed my MMus at Goldsmiths and BA Hons in Sonic Art at Middlesex University.
I have quite a few areas of interest within the field of computer music, but many recent projects have focused upon the exploration and practical application of computer game and physics engine technologies in the creation of creative works in the fields of sound art and music composition. Themes of play, allocation of compositional control to players, user accessibility and symbolic representations of sound, synthesis and music control parameters are often key themes in the game engine projects.
I have a keen interest in acousmatic music and composing multichannel electroacoustic works, creating skewed suggestive sound environments from constrained themed materials. In my spare time I enjoy making electronica.
