I am an academic interested in understanding artistic and musical creativity using digital technology, and its relation to society. I have worked in the field of Computational Creativity — the study of the automation of creative tasks — since 2007, seeing massive transformations in technological capability leading up to the current explosion in AI art and music. During this time he has worked as a creative coding practitioner, making his own music improvising systems which have been featured at the London Science Museum, the North Sea Jazz Festival, BBC Radio 3, the Computer Music Journal, the New Interfaces for Musical Expression Conference, and the International Symposium on Electronic Art, amongst other venues.
