Andreas Bergsland
About
I am working as a professor at the music technology program at Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). I am the course responsible for and teach, Music technology in light of history (MUST1058), and Basic music technology 2 (MUST1060), both on the Music Technology Bachelor's programme, and Electronic Music (MUST3054) on the international Master's program, Creative Music Technology.
Research interests:
- Movement-sound interaction for users with and without disabilities
- Interactive dance
- Voice in electroacoustic music (PhD entitled "Experiencing voices in Electroacoustic Music" from 2010),
- Live-electronics from a performative perspective
- History and analysis of electroacoustic music
Artistic work:
I hav been involved in composition and sound design for exhibitions, installations, large scale multi-media events, in addition to doing live-electronics performances and working with computer instrument design for motion capture systems. In addition, I have composed several pieces for interactive dance that have been presented in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Austria, Greece, Italy and Canada.
Projects
The last few years I have been involved in the following projects:
- VIBRA (prosjektleder og initiativtaker)
- MotionComposer (komponist/lyddesigner)
- Cross adaptive processing as musical intervention
Reward:
Together with the MotionComposer team I received a special recognition award in the 2016 Guthman Musical Instrument Competition.
