Composer in Residence

The School of Mathematics is hosting the residency of the composer Eleri Pound for ten months from February 2011, funded by the Leverhulme Trust Artist-in-Residence scheme.

Eleri plans to compose four pieces of music during the residency, each reflecting a different mathematical idea, as well as creating wall displays, a website, and having input into the joint honours mathematics and music programme.

Eleri Pound was a joint honours undergraduate at Leeds in Maths & Music. After graduating she stayed at Leeds and completed her practice-based research PhD in composition in 2008. Eleri is interested in exploring ways of using mathematical concepts to create pre-compositional material and compositional structures. She has an interest in alternative tuning systems and the notational and practical problems associated with the use of these. Eleri is also a harpist, involved in performance of new music and is interested in the historical development of the harp, including the exploration of contemporary music written for the harp.
