Jim Reeve-Baker is a fourth year PhD student at the University of Edinburgh. His research is concerned with the production and aesthetic of data compressed audio, using compression artefacts and effects as the material for creating musical compositions.
Jim’s work seeks to contribute to an artistic practice that considers media as not only a transmitter or archiver but also a generator of sound, and to introduce these compression artefacts to the post-digital palette of 21st century composition.
In 2020, he was accepted to contribute the Sonorities Festival in Belfast and the Trading Zone exhibition at the Talbot Rice Gallery in Edinburgh. Additionally, he performed at the 2020 Dialogues Festival in Edinburgh, took part in the PhD symposium at the xCoAx conference in 2020, and participated as an artist at the xCoAx conference in 2021.
