Dr Ros Bandt is an internationally acclaimed sound researcher, composer and sound artist. She is based at the Australian Centre, the University of Melbourne where she is the director of the Australian Sound Design Project, a new nationwide website, data base and research facility dedicated to the study of sound design in public space. This is a new cross disciplinary study which crosses the boundaries of art practice and research in new ways. It is funded by an ARC grant from the Australian Government and the Australia Council, the national arts funding body. Published writings on sound include 3 books, most recently Sound sculpture: intersections in sound and sculpture in Australian Artworks, Thames and Hudson, 2001, encyclopaedic entries, and numerous articles. She has been the recipient of many international awards grants and commissions for her pioneering work in interactive sound sculptures, installations, sound playgrounds and spatial music systems. The Studio of Akustische Kunst WDR, Radio ORF, Transit, ABC have commissioned her original music, and her works are published by New Albion, Wergo, EMI, AMC, Allans Music, Currrency Press and Move Records. She has won the Don Banks Composers award, the highest honour to an Australian Composer and the Sound Art Australia Prize. She has performed at the Paris Autumn Festival, the International Society for Contemporary Music, Warsaw and Bucharest, the Asian Arts Festival Hong Kong, throughout Europe, the U.K., Canada and the USA.
