“For nothing which can be seen or tasted or touched brings on such distractions, confusions, and excitements, as take possession of the soul when certain crashing, clashing, and roaring noises assail the hearing.”
Plutarch – On Listening to Lectures
Andrew Knight-Hill (1986) is a composer of electroacoustic music, specialising in studio composed works both acousmatic (purely sound based) and audio-visual.
His works are composed with materials captured from the human and natural world, seeking to explore the beauty in everyday objects. He is particularly interested in how these materials are interpreted by audiences, and how these interpretations relate to our experience of the real and the virtual.
He is Senior Lecturer in Sound Design and Music Technology at the University of Greenwich, director of the Loudspeaker Orchestra Concert Series and convenor of the SOUND/IMAGE conference.
