 Practice as sound artist & designer, Dr Ros Bandt, (summary)

Over the past twenty-five years I have been researching sound design and have been implementing the fruits of that research as an internationally recognised practising sound artist. My original sound works have been commissioned for the most prestigious international sound art events, including the Zeitgleich Symposium   (1994, ORF Wien, Austrian Radio & Transit digital art company, Innsbruck, Austria), the 6 Exquisites Sound Art Festival  (1999, USA) and the Studio of Acoustic Art,  (West Deutsche Rundfunk,  Koln, 1992, 1994, 1997, Germany).  As a curator I have mounted several large sound events engaging both Australian and international artists, (e.g. Beaming the Theremin, installing the Grainger Museum in sound and light, Melbourne International Festival, 1998, Hearing Place 2003). As a sound installation artist I have created some 47 sound installations world-wide. I have invented interactive sound playback systems which include the audience and provide a place for them to fully participate in the design of my works. My original works including 8 solo CDs are published internationally.
