It was great to finally have in-person concerts resume here at Bournemouth University last Thursday. Thanks to all who attended. I diffused two of my compositions, and my friend and colleague Panos Amelidis contributed his excellent music to the programme. Looking forward to further events in 2022!
The Soundlapse project (2019-22) is an interdisciplinary research initiative highlighting the acoustical heritage of wetlands in the south of Chile. Eight sound artists were commissioned to compose works using periodic field recordings of the “Parque Urbano El Bosque” wetland soundscapes in Valdivia. The album includes works by Aki Pasoulas, Pete Stollery, Francisco López, Alejandro Albornoz, Brona Martin, Rob Mackay and Felipe Otondo.
I’ll be presenting a paper at the Electroacoustic Music Studies Network Conference 2021 next week at De Montfort University, Leicester. The paper is titled Variability and the spatial setting: emergent properties and sound relationships in acousmatic music. I’m really looking forward to hearing the other presentations and hearing some great music in concert.
My 2011 composition Fleeting Strands is on the programme at NYCEMF 2021 (New York City Electroacoustic Music Festival), which starts on 15 June 2021. A great festival, and it’s all online this year. Looking forward to it!
