Biography
Composer Georg Boenn teaches at the Music Department of the University of Lethbridge in the Digital Audio Arts program. He studied composition at the University of Music in Cologne, Germany. His teachers include Jürg Baur, Krzysztof Meyer and Clarence Barlow. After graduation, he studied the Cursus d’Informatique Musicale at IRCAM, Paris. In 2011, Georg completed his PhD in Computer Science at the University of Bath, UK, where he worked on Algorithmic Composition and Automated Music Transcription. Georg was resident artist at the ZKM in Karlsruhe, and at the Atelierhaus Worpswede, Germany. He worked as a visiting scholar at the Centre for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA) at Stanford University. He taught Electronic Music at the University of Music, Bremen, and was a Senior Lecturer in Music and Sound Technologies at the University of South Wales, UK. Georg's musical output contains works for solo instruments, ensembles, vocal music, orchestral and electronic music. Georg’s main areas of research are algorithmic composition, rhythm, and expressive timing. His latest book, Computational Models of Rhythm and Meter, published by Springer Nature, explores new methods for composition, analysis, and transcription of musical rhythms, meter, and form. By taking into account music perception, psychology, and mathematics, it develops a new process for the automated transcription of rhythms from musical performances.
