Simon Kilshaw
Simon explores the exciting potential of technology to compose,
perform and teach music. His creative practice primarily relates to
interactive gestural performance of electroacoustic music, the
sonification of physical modelled structures,
acousmatic/electroacoustic composition and spatial diffusion. One
of his specialities is creating new computer programmes to realise
completely unknown sonic possibilities, and the application of
those inventions to various real and imagined uses.
Recently Simon has been developing interactive learning tools
and environments specifically for musicians; this is an opportunity
to 'digitise' the individual learning experience of online creative
conservatoire students, enabling real-time interactive digital
classrooms and creative learning environments. In 2007, Simon
founded 'Sonic Arts in Wales', an organisation to foster and
promote sonic arts and electroacoustic music in Wales, proudly
boasting Bernard Parmegiani as its honorary patron.
