He has produced music for the concert hall, theatre, screen and dance productions as well as working in a range of site-specific and improvisational contexts. His compositions have been performed internationally and presented at conferences including the ICMC (International Computer Music Conference), LAC (Linux Audio Conference) and NIME ( New Interfaces for Musical Expression). Since the late 90s, his work has relied solely on the use of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) for the realisation and implementation of projects. As a free culture advocate and educator he has worked closely with the GOTO10 media art collective, Openlab, London Hackspace and SPC medialab as well as working for many years as a senior lecturer in Networked Digital Media in UK universities. He now lives and works in Slovenia, where he and his family are developing a rural art program within the Rizoma Institute, operating at the intersection of technology, permaculture and performing arts. He holds a PhD in music composition from Goldsmiths University, London. http://zavodrizoma.si/robcanning kratka biografija v slovenščini [[robcanning-slo|tukaj]] ---- ===== Recent Music and Intermedia ===== ==== 2023 ==== === 13.10.23 Festival MFRU - Solo (Festival Closing Concert) === {{:canning:canning_mfru_2023.jpg?direct&150 |}} Rob Canning (Gong Feedback and Tactus capacitive touch interface) \\ 29th International Festival of Computer Arts\\ [[https://www.mfru.org/events/improvisation-for-computer-networked-instruments-and-multichannel-sound-diffusion]] \\ Foto: Mitja Lorenčič ---- === 12.10.23 Festival IZIS - Improvising Ensemble === {{:canning:izis_sploh.jpg?direct&150 |}} Rob Canning (Augmented Guitar), Vid Drašler (Drums), Samo Kutin (Hurdy Gurdy), Lina Rica (Visuals) \\ Zavod Sploh / Festival Izis \\ [[https://www.sploh.si/si/glasba/cikli/razsrediscenja]] \\ Foto: Emilija Blauzdyte \\ ---- === 04.10.23 Festival INDIGO - Solo / Clockwork Voltage === {{:canning:canning_indigo_festival_clockworkvoltage.jpeg?direct&150 |}} Live Coding Improvisation for Supercollider, Mother32s Semi-modular synthesisers and NeoPixels \\ Clockwork Voltage / Festival INDIGO \\ [[https://indigo.ooo/en/program/events/6/clockwork-voltage/]] \\ Foto: Jan \\ ---- === 21.09.23 Kamizdat RENTGEN @ - Solo === {{:canning:canning_kamizdat_rentgen_5scenes.jpg?direct&150 |}} Symphonic Gong, Live Electronics \\ OZMO/ZA Ljubljana & Live Stream \\ [[https://osmoza.si/index.php/dogodek/kamizdat-rentgen-rob-canning-sasa-spacal]] \\ ---- === 21.09.23 Album Release on Kamizdat - Five Scenes for Symphonic Gong and Electronics === {{:canning:canning_kamizdat_five_scenes.jpg?direct&150 |}} Kamizdat [[https://kamizdat.si/sl/izdaje/rob-canning-five-scenes-for-symphonic-gong-and-electronics-2/]] \\ [[https://robcanning.bandcamp.com/album/five-scenes-for-symphonic-gong-electronics]] \\ Luka Prinčič & Luka T.
