Bio
Thor Magnusson is a Professor in Future Music at the University of Sussex. His work focusses on the impact of digital technologies on musical creativity, explored equally through practice and education. Magnusson’s research is underpinned by the philosophy of technology and cognitive science, exploring issues of embodiment, artificial intelligence, and compositional constraints in digital musical systems as practiced by musicians in concrete situations. He has developed audio software and systems of generative music composition, written computer music tutorials, and created three musical live coding environments.
Current research involves developing machine learning for creative coding as part of the MIMIC project, of which the Sussex team has recently launched the Sema system for developing new live coding languages for machine learning. Magnusson is also running the 5-year ERC-funded Intelligent Instruments project at the Iceland University of the Arts.
