Professor Michael Casey
Electroacoustic Music Program HB 6242, Hallgarten Hall Music Department Dartmouth College Hanover, NH 03755 +1.(603).646.9609 |
Michael Casey is a composer and researcher in computer music and music
information. He earned a PhD from MIT's
Media Laboratory in 1998 and gained
his Masters from Dartmouth College's Electroacoustic Music Program in
1992. He has been composing computer music for over two decades and has been
awarded prizes from the Bourges (IMEB) and Newcomp foundations, as well as a Discover Award for technological
innovation. Prior to coming to Dartmouth in January 2008, Michael was Professor of Computer Science at Goldsmiths College, University of
London, where he was awarded three EPSRC research grants to investigate information theoretic aspects of music and sound.
