What's On

Our Research Forums provide in-depth insight into some of the cutting-edge research that is taking place at the RNCM. Hear presentations from academics, performers, and composers as they share the latest developments in their fields, discuss innovative techniques, and explore new perspectives on music performance, composition, and scholarship.

These forums offer a unique opportunity to engage with groundbreaking work, ask questions, and gain a deeper understanding of the evolving landscape of music research at the RNCM. Talks usually last about an hour, including a Q&A session.

This event will be in-person only.

In this Research Forum, Matthew will demonstrate electronic and acousmatic compositional work that has engaged with space as the primary parameter of interest. This work has developed from research into the compositional affordances and peculiarities of the in-ear binaural method of recording, into more recent work that harnesses large-array dynamic convolution processing to exploit both binaural and ambisonic impulse responses to produce potentially complex spatial images from arbitrary signals. Ongoing research into the authoring and creative use of complex abstract and abstracted spatial images will be demonstrated, alongside a selection of binaural and ambisonic work.

Matthew Barnard is a researcher and practitioner engaged with electronic composition, recording and production and mastering. Current research revolves around spatial audio techniques and creative applications. He recently joined the University of York in August, having previously been director of the Hull ElectroAcoustic Research Organisation at the University of Hull.
