The Music Informatics Research Centre at the University of Sussex features an exciting roster of computer music researchers and electronic musicians.

Let me direct you to their research and web pages:

Anna Jordanous is exploring evaluation of computational creativity. She has previously worked on language and music, automatic accompaniment and voice allocation in polyphonic music.

Andrew Duff is undertaking a practice-led doctorate in electronic music and audiovisuals; he's a lecturer in the School of Media, Film and Music, and you can see further examples of his work in progress here.

Chad McKinney is exploring new practices in network music, creating and evaluating a series of multi-user works

Dr Thor Magnusson of ixi software is intensely concerned with issues in the creation and philosophy of digital interfaces for music.

Dr Matthew Yee-King explored genetic algorithms for sound synthesis, including aspects of live performance and automatic sound analysis arising from his research.

Dr Chris Kiefer investigated the application of Human Computer Interaction techniques in the design and evaluation of musical interfaces. Following an early case study around the Nintendo Wiimote as a musical controller, he built and assessed his own novel controllers supporting fine motor control of music, based on computer vision, and conductive foam.
