:::: Thor Magnusson ::::

A worker in rhythm, frequencies and intensities. Research and development in the areas of music, mind and technology. I am a professor in experimental humanities at the University of Iceland. I have just left the fantastic Music Department at the University of Sussex where I was a professor of future music. I recently served as an Edgard-Varese guest professor at the Technische Universitat Berlin.

Research interests include musical performance, improvisation, new technologies for musical expression, live coding, musical notation and digital scores, artificial intelligence and computational creativity, cognitive science, philosophy of mind, and the philosophy of technology.
