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.
