B. Kieran McAuliffe

Sound Researcher and Artist

About

As an artist I wear a couple hats, from jazz guitarist to electronic experimenter to vocal composer. As a researcher, I leverage excellent computer/data science skills, and am highly interested in the use of probability distributions for the generation of sound material. I currently live in Hamburg, Germany where I work as a research associate at the Ligeti Center.
