Pete Stollery

I am Chair of Composition and Electroacoustic Music at the University of Aberdeen where I co-direct SERG (Sound Emporium Research Group) which brings together staff and students in sound art and music to examine the relationships between sound and place, via both creative and text-based outputs. Since moving to Aberdeen in 1991, I have created music for the concert hall, as well as a number of sound art installation, sound maps and sound walks, many of which involve co-creation with communities. My creative work is performed throughout the world and is published by empreintes DIGITALes in Montreal, Canada. I have had articles published in British Journal of Music Education, Journal of Music, Technology and Education, Educational Philosophy and Theory. In 2004 I helped to set up sound, a new music incubator based in NE Scotland through which I am able to work with a variety of communities, encouraging them to listen more deeply. Recent Sound Mapping and Sound Walking projects include Granite Sound (with National Theatre of Scotland), [M[apping Aberdeen, Soundmap: People and Place and COVID-19 Sound Map.
