Trond Lossius

Trond Lossius investigates relations between sound, place and space in field recordings, audio-visual installations and collaborative cross-disciplinary projects. Using surround (Ambisonic) microphones, he records places rather than sounds, primarily engaging with suburban sound environments. He develops open-source software for spatial audio and real-time media for his projects, and he has published research in international conferences and journals on sound and music computing. Trond Lossius holds a MA in geophysics, studied music composition, and a PhD in artistic research from the Academy of Fine Art, Bergen National Academy of the Arts. He has formerly been Head of Research at Oslo National Academy of the Arts. He is currently a professor and PhD-leader at The Norwegian Film School, Inland University of Applied Sciences and professor II at The Grieg Academy, The University of Bergen.
