ABOUT NOYZELAB : David Burraston is an artist/scientist involved in technology and electronic music since the late 1970s. He had an innovative role in the foremost UK telco’s R&D laboratory in diverse areas such as Artificial Life, Virtual Reality and Visualisation. Self taught in the areas of music composition/technology, chaos and complex systems, he is recognised as a leading practitioner/theorist in the field of generative music, producing both peer reviewed publications and musical compositions. He is also a peer-reviewer for the MIT Press journals Leonardo Journal, Leonardo Music Journal, Computer Music Journal and on the editorial board of Leonardo Transactions. In January 2008 David became a member of the Australia Research Council funded initiative COSNET (Complex Open Systems Research Network). David is a founding member of the Electronic Music Foundation Institute (www.emf.org). David was part of the team that designed and built The Wires installation at The WIRED Lab and is a member of the Board of Directors.

His PhD thesis developed and applied fundamental new concepts, arising out of generative music practice, to a key problem in complex systems. This has served as a foundation methodology for creative practice and complex systems research. The outcomes of his research have been recognised by international peers, evidenced by the acceptance of papers into significant journals such as Leonardo and Digital Creativity. The international peer reviewed Leonardo Abstracts Service (LABS) voted his PhD top among all submitted abstracts in 1^st half of 2007 because of its special relevance to art/science. His current work is aimed at tackling more key questions in complex systems from a creative practice perspective, drawing inspiration from natural and artificial complex systems. These key questions address the definition of randomness, structure and high level descriptions of information processing in complex systems.
