[PD] [ot] PhD, mostly artistic

[Jamie Bullock]

Hi Thomas,

Apologies for chiming in late on this one. You might want to consider
conducting your PhD at Birmingham Conservatoire in the UK.

http://www.conservatoire.bcu.ac.uk/research/centre-for-composition-and-performance-using-technology

We have an established research centre, which has run the Integra
project (www.integralive.org) since its inception, and has secured
funding a second project phase. Our research specialisms are mainly
focused on live interaction in performance. Being a Conservatoire, there
is a diverse range of talented instrumental performers to collaborate
with.

We have strong links with a number of other research centres including
the Visualisation Research Unit
(http://www.biad.uce.ac.uk/vru/index.php) at BIAD, so if you were
interested in performance gesture analysis through advanced motion
capture, there are facilities available for that.

HTH.

best,

Jamie
