JULIAN KNOWLES
j.knowles@uws.edu.au
Julian Knowles is a composer/perfomer and audio artist working with new
and emerging technologies. His practice draws heavily on the transformation
of location audio and is informed by film sound practices, electro-acoustic,
acousmatic and concrete musics and contemporary popular music production
techniques, resulting in a personalised sonic language which is exploratory,
yet recognises its roots in historical traditions. It challenges the arbitrary
distinctions between sound, noise and music and attempts to reveal the
inherent musicality in so-called non-musical materials. Since the early
90s, Julian’s work has made use of spatial audio systems and in
the past 5 years has located itself within the 5.1 surround audio standard.
In the early 90s, Julian joined the critically acclaimed experimental
audio arts group Social Interiors. He continues to publish work under
this name. Julian has undertaken a number of tours through the USA, the
UK, Korea and Australasia and his music works is released internationally
via Extreme Records. He is Head of School of Contemporary Arts at the
University of Western Sydney.

GERARD ASSAYAG
gerard.assayag@wanadoo.fr
Gérard is Director of The Music Representation Group at IRCAM
in Paris, France. The Music Representation Group is focused on research
and development in Computer Aided Composition (CAC). Its strong expertise
in the field is due to a continuous collaboration between scientists,
composers and musicologists.
A CAC environment is oriented towards the exploration of formal structures
involved in composition or musical analysis. This has lead us to study
several programming models such as visual programming, constraint programming,
functional programming and object oriented programming. We also consider
closely graphical representations of musical entities. This research has
led to the PatchWork and OpenMusic sofware, two successive generations
of compositional environments, that enable the computation of musical
structures from graphical programming languages. They have been widely
used by numerous composers for contemporary music production, especially
for designing instrumental parts.
TIMOTHY CAMPBELL
Tim is Assistant Professor of Italian in the Department of Romance Studies.
Presently he is completing a study of the impact of early radio on modern

Films," "War and Modernity in Italy," and "Poetry
in a Radio Age." He is also co-organizer of the Cornell Italian Studies
Colloquium, whose posters you may see as you walk through the Cornell

MILLIE CHEN
Chenoquigley@aol.com
Millie Chen is Assistant Professor of Art at the University at Buffalo,
State University of New York. She is the recipient of numerous awards
and public art commissions, and has been an active member of a number
of artist collectives and artist-run organizations. In her installations,
performances and public interventions, she has explored the functions
and myths surrounding the cultural body through ritual practices in the
everyday, drawing associations between the sensual and symbolic qualities
of common yet potent materials such as bread, human hair, rice, spices,
blood, rust, noise. Evolving from earlier experiments with the senses
(e.g. smell). Her recent art production involves the capacity of tactile
materiality and architectural space to trigger immaterial sonic environments.
Stemming from her interest in site-specificity and interactivity, she
has been incorporating specific spaces and visitors' bodies as articulators
of sound in several recent installations. Negotiations are played out
between acoustics, architecture, membranes, interfaces and sound as a
cultural trigger. The relationship between seeing and hearing is shifted
back and forth. Within her visual art practice, the act of looking is
gently interrogated.
