DrDaniel Blinkhorn

Daniel Blinkhorn is a multi-international award winning composer, sound and digital media artist whose music gravitates around a synchronicity of frequency, texture, gesture, space, location and motion, all of which form (often metaphorical) frameworks within a given piece. Although often working in the electroacoustic, videophonic and ecoacoustic domains, Blinkhorn's output includes chamber, symphonic and wind orchestra works, sound installations, music for film, dance, radiophonic composition and various hybrid/ intermedia environments.

The piece 'red sound' from the frostbYte suite has been described as 'a true masterpiece, that captures and presents poetically the essence of human fascination with a timeless natural landscape' (International Computer Music Association Jury, 2013).

Blinkhorn's works are increasingly performed, exhibited and presented internationally, and his compositions have received over 40 international and national composition awards at prestigious compeitions.

He is the 2010 ABC Radio National Media Arts Fellow, and a 2011 Churchill Fellow, has worked in a wide variety of creative, academic, research and performative contexts, and has been a visiting scholar and artist at the University of Virginia, Music Department, the Conservatory of Music, University of Kansas City Missouri, Simon Fraser University, Vancouver and faculty member for 'Ecosono Alaska', a joint initiative between Ecosono Institute and Alaska Pacific University, Anchorage, Alaska.

Whilst entirely autodidactic in electroacoustic music and digital media, he has formally studied at a number of Australian universities including, COFA - UNSW and the University of Wollongong where his doctoral degree in composition was recommended for special commendation. Recent academic activities include completion of the 'Leading Teams' program administered by the University of Sydney Business School. Leading Teams - Digital Badge
