Author Information

Rose Dodd (1967) is a composer of instrumental and electronic music. From 1990-94 she lived in the Netherlands studying briefly with Diderik Wagenaar at the Royal Dutch Conservatoire (the Hague). Coming from an acousmatic background with a strong interest in Scandinavian soundworlds, whether electronic or instrumental, the Swedish text sound-art tradition in particular has led to a number of electronic works with text. Dodd has been awarded a number of prizes, including Honourable Mention at Prix Ars Electronica'96, 19th International Luigi Russolo Concorso and Prix de Residence at Bourges Synthese'97. Engaged in a significant research residency period at Notam Oslo, Norway, which began in 2011, she is working on a series of works for instruments and electronics. The results so far have been mobius ii for Hardanger fiddle (Britt Pernille Froholm) & electronics premiered HCMF 2011; Aandacht for 2 pianos and electronics, performed by Philip Thomas/Lisa Ullen premiered HCMF 2013 and Waternish Ballad for Scottish fiddle (Sarah-Jane Summers) & electronics premiered at Scotland's Sound Festival, Banchory in October 2014. She has also written pieces for Ere Lievonen, for the 31-tone Huygens-Fokker Organ, situated in Amsterdam's Muziekgebouw, Kleurenspelletjes (2015). She was awarded a PhD in Composition in 2006 at the University of Huddersfield, UK, where she studied with Christopher Fox.
