Good afternoon all, Off topic, but Csound related query for the list. I'm looking to start a phd, most likely to commence at the start of the 2014 academic year, and was curious to know if any of the UK list members had any suggestions or recommendations on where would be good places to approach. My main area of study, and what I'd be intending to focus on for a phd, is surround sound, spatialisation and ambisonics for live performance uses.
My apologies for the off topic nature of the message, but I'm sure you can see the relation and intention of asking.
Thank you and have a great weekend. Dominic

Hi,
I'd suggest Birmingham, De Montfort (in Leicester), and Huddersfield. In London, for what you're looking at, City University, and now the university of Kent. Hope it helps.

I forgot the university of Sheffield. They also use Csound and blue. P On 23 November 2013 17:32, <jpff@cs.bath.ac.uk> wrote:

But sadly no kit (I dropped hints already...) and no history of involvement. The sursound list would be a good place to ask. Dave Malham (York) is retired now, otherwise he would have been the best contact, but I assume York must still be actively engaged on surround/Ambisonic things, and is very well resourced. In addition to those already suggested (Tim Collins would be a contact at Birmingham), there is Derby (Peter Lennox, Bruce Wiggins), and Southampton (strong on acoustics) and I think SARC Belfast is also active, but I don't have a name to suggest offhand.

Thanks for all the information and the names to contact, very handy. Kit isn't my primary concern, I'm quite lucky to be well supported in that area by both a studio monitor company and a PA system manufacturer. It's more the support of someone knowledgeable and experienced in the field I'm after. Thanks again. Dominic

Yes from the searching I've done today following the advice. His staff profile is for Bath. Dominic

He is heading up a new set of multi-disciplinary courses there (at Hartham Park outside Chippenham), under the umbrella of the school of Humanities and Cultural Industries. The latest course to be announced is a BSc in "Creative Computing".

Not in any formal way. It is all very new, the first course only started in October, and they are still unpacking things. CDP (i.e. I and Archer Endrich) has been invited to join the "Collaboratory", but I don't know what that will mean in practice yet. His general approach appeals to us very much because of the multi-disciplinary arts/science focus. He has facilitated a couple of meetings with people in Education, about our SMC-Schools ideas, and we are focussing on that at the moment.
