Robert McClenon (talk) 05:54, 18 January 2019 (UTC)}} Ed Wright Edward Charles Wright (born 1980 in Hawridge, Buckinghamshire, UK) is a British composer known largely for electronic and mixed media sound art. He studied at Bangor University under the supervision of Andrew Lewis completing a doctorate in mixed elctroacoustic and instrumental music in 2010 [1]. Edward Wright is actively composing and recording whilst holding positions lecturing for Bangor University and teaching the violin in a number of local schools. Performance and broadcastWright has performed widely thought the UK and abroad including performances in SARC (Belfast), Electroacoustic Cymru (Wales), St James Piccadilly (London) and Art Forum (Antwerp). His work is generally characterised (although not exclusively) by the use of electronic resources especially surround and octophonic sound diffusion systems. Although his work remains somewhat melodic in comparison to many comparable acousmatic compositions Wright's work is becoming increasingly driven by philosphical rather than specificaly musical content as demonstrated in more recent pieces such as Thinking inside the Box and Crosswire where the emphasis is more on the multisensory experience of the music and the underlying discourse rather than a particular tune or melody. During his time completing his thesis Wright worked on a number of broadcast projects including the tape part and realization of Stereo Type for Guto Puw broadcast on S4C television in 2005 as part of the Bangor New Music Festival, also appearing on S4Cs Sioe Gelf with a workshop with pupils from Ysgol Pendalar[2], and work being played on BBC Radio 1 Wales Introducing [3]. His work first achieved international recognition in the IMEB Prix Bourges 2008 for his piece 'Con-chords' [4] He has since gone on to sign to the Blipfonica record label [5] and has released two CDs in the past two years. Software developmentWright initially developed software within the Max/Msp/Jitter and Csound environments as a way of creating methods to perform otherwise imposible music as in the case of the 8 channel audio/video mixer devised for 'Harp Set' and the sample/processing/difussion system of 'Polarities'. These have quickly become outmoded as live/electronic mixed music has become more mainstream. Wright's approach to software design as a method of interfacing with the digital world during live performance brings software design (as in the case of 'Crosswire' and 'Sound games') closer to instrument building, focusing on methods of physical interaction e.g. mouse, wii remote and motion tracking controls which provide a wide range of expression yet demand the precision of physical control expected by an instumental performer. As well as his performance software Wright has also released a number of composition tools Virtual440 Audio Machine VAM 1which are availble to download in the Max/MSP environment. CollaborationsWright worked collaboratively with a number of artists, most especially the photographer and poet Morlo Bach under the title of Virtual Poetry for: 'Passage, In memory of Thomas/Celtic Cross' and 'Broken Glass', and with the author Graeme Harper on 'Seasons'.
