Adrian Moore first came into contact with electroacoustic music in his hometown of Nottingham at a concert given by Denis Smalley. His undergraduate study was at City University (London, UK) where he began to compose in the studio as well as assist the Electroacoustic Music Association of Great Britain (EMAS) — which became, in 1990, the Sonic Arts Network (SAN), which in turn became, in 2008, Sound and Music — with concerts. The performance of tape pieces using multiple loudspeakers interested him and his further study under Jonty Harrison at the University of Birmingham offered the opportunity of composing for and working with the Birmingham ElectroAcoustic Sound Theatre (BEAST). He graduated in 1998 but his seven years in Birmingham were interspersed with trips to the Conservatoire national supérieur de musique de Lyon (France, 1991-92) and Zentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologie Karlsruhe (ZKM) (Germany, 1995).

His works have been performed and broadcast around the world and have received prizes and mentions in numerous competitions, including Musica Nova (Prague, Czech Republic, 1996, 2010, ’23), Bourges (Bourges, France, 1990, 2002), and Musica Viva (Lisbon, Portugal, 2004, ’15).

Having always held an interest in bringing the power of the fixed medium into the live performance situation as well as to sound diffusion, Adrian Moore sees the technology of today as an ideal tool with which to work as a composer, teacher and performer. He is currently Professor of Electroacoustic Music Composition at the University of Sheffield where he is a member of the University of Sheffield Sound Studios (USSS).

His motivations remain “acousmatic” and current work includes multichannel composition, laptop improvisation, and large spatialization concerts using software developed at USSS.
