Research

Innovation in sound, space and interactive art.

What do we do? NOVARS' current areas of research embrace:

Live acousmatic composition with sound spatialisation and diffusion (see the MANTIS Festival)
Machine musicianship and interactivity (instruments and live electronics) (see the MANTIS Festival)
Electroacoustic music and sports science collaborative research (see the SoundRunner project)
Analogue electronics and modular synthesis (see our Sines and Squares project)
Locativeaudio (See our Locativeaudio project and entrepreneurial spin-out companies SonicMaps and Echoes)
Game-audio/procedural audio (see our game-audio project) and procedural-generative audio in graphics-physics-engines
Audification and sonification: audible data research on music composition (see the Audification website)

From Game Audio to Sonic Maps, view our project highlights.

Each academic year the NOVARS research centre produces a series of research group activities.

View past and present postgraduate researchers alongside their PhD themes, MusM graduates, and alumni from around the world.
