Thor Magnusson is a Research Professor at the University of Iceland and a Professor in Future Music at the University of Sussex. His work focusses on the impact of digital technologies on musical creativity, explored equally through practice (software development, composition, performance), theory (publications, lecturing, talks) and education (teaching, workshops, tutorials). Magnusson’s research is underpinned by the philosophy of technology and cognitive science, exploring issues of embodiment, artificial intelligence, and compositional constraints in digital musical systems as practiced by musicians in concrete situations. He runs the Centre for Experimental Humanities at the University of Iceland.
