Dr Stephen Roddy to debut a new musical work employing generative music and sonification technqiues entitled 'Bacteriophage in Granular Waves' for AM.ICAD 2025 at Coimbra, Portugal.

Stephen of the Radical Humanities Laboratory & Department of Digital Humanities will debut a new composition entitled ‘Bacteriophage in Granular Waves’ for the concert programme of AM.ICAD 2025, the joint conference of Audio Mostly & the International Community for Auditory Display (ICAD) at the University of Coimbra in Portugal. The performance will take place on July 2nd at Salão Brazil in the Jazz ao Centro Clube located in the heart of Coimbra. The piece is a data-driven composition that employs both generative music and sonification methods to map synthetic virology data to musical parameters with the help of wavetable, and granular synthesis techniques. It is an early result from an ongoing interdisciplinary research collaboration with Professor Liam Fanning and colleagues across UCC’s College of Medicine and Health, which aims to develop novel tools and strategies for representing complex virological data with creative technologies.
