The HumanitiesGraduateSchool, Faculty of Humanities, University of Aarhus, in collaboration with the Royal Academy of Music, Aarhus and the Danish Ministry of Culture, invites applications for SU PhD scholarship (4+4) in Adaptive Musical Processes in Digital Interactive Media starting on 1 September 2008, or as soon as possible thereafter.
The PhD scholarship will be financed by the 3 parties.
A PhD position is being made available in the area of Adaptive Musical Processes in Digital Interactive Media.
Adaptive music is defined as computer-generated music that can be influenced, consciously or unconsciously, by the audience or individual listener. Adaptive music is a type of interactive music where interaction does not place specific demands on the part of the user in regard to expertise or training. Adaptive music is a quickly expanding field, which is gaining increased application in computer games, web design, net art and experience design.
Research will be conducted within the framework of The Danish Institute of Electronic Music (DIEM) at the Royal Academy of Music, Aarhus in collaboration with The Department of Computer Science and the Institute for Information and Media Sciences (IMV) at the University of Aarhus.
The project will explore how adaptive musical processes can be used to induce critical reflection as well as creative involvement on the part of the listener.
This will be achieved by
1. examining, charting, describing and analyzing existing forms of adaptive music
2. establishing criteria for functional design in adaptive musical systems
3. creating new forms of adaptive music through case studies within the established design criteria
4. evaluating case studies in light of research in interaction and interface design
Research will be based upon theories and methods in the areas of human computer interaction and interface design and upon an empirical research approach derived from case studies. Case studies will be supplemented with the investigation of listener/user evaluation of functionality and artistic quality in adaptive music.
The PhD position will be given to a qualified applicant with a relevant education and degree with a background in interactive music, programming and digital audio.
The PhD scholar will be enrolled as a PhD student at the Faculty of Humanities, University of Aarhus, with the aim of completing a PhD degree at the Institute of Information and Media Studies, University of Aarhus. The PhD scholar will be affiliated with the postgraduate programmes of study ICT, Communication, Media Studies and Journalism.
