Hello! I’m Rory - a Music Technology Researcher, Developer, and Educator based in Toronto, Canada.
I am currently a PhD Candidate (ABD) in Digital Media, and a member of the DisPerSion Lab at York University. My work explores digital performance in telematic music environments, virtual acoustics, human-computer interaction, and audio perception in multimedia works.
I’ve had the opportunity to present my work internationally, with conference publications reporting on a variety of sound-based works. These include extensions to performance practices including non-human participants, methodologies for networked musical performance, and embodied control of sonic perspective in remote performances. Find more about my work in writing, or through individual project pages.
My musical performance practice is rooted in electroacoustic and noise music. My approach considers spectromorphology (timbral variation over time), spatial audio, and low frequency rhythmic content through a processed bass guitar setup. This practice is honed through various musical projects, and as an active member of thee Doug Van Nort Electro-Acoustic Orchestra.
Thanks for checking out my work! Please reach out with any inquiries here, or connect with me on any platform below.
