SIMON ATKINSON
Simon Atkinson is a composer and Principal Lecturer at Music, Technology and Innovation Research Centre at De Montfort University since 2000. His work is primarily in musical composition made possible through digital technologies, however he has worked in a diverse and eclectic range of musical projects, mediums and contexts over the years. He is also committed to making a contribution to the wider understanding and appreciation of contemporary music, particularly electroacoustic and experimental electronic musics. This influences the thrust of his scholarly work, as well as forming the impetus behind past work in concert production and promotion, cross-art form collaboration, and community arts projects. He was a founding member of the Scottish group invisibEARts and he co-directs the AHRC and UNESCO-funded Electroacoustic Resource Site (EARS) project (www.ears.dmu.ac.uk) which is hosted at De Montfort.

Atkinson is currently completing a cycle of digital compositions created from analogue feedback sounds, interiorities, is starting a new collaboration with De Montfort colleague Kerry Franksen, dance and intermedia artist, and recently completed a commission from INA-GRM which was premiered at Radio France in Paris in October 2013.
