GEORGE MEIKLE

Dr. George Meikle is a Senior Lecturer in Music Production at the University of Salford, specializing in electronic/computer music and human-computer interaction (HCI) in music. His work spans generative music systems, interactive digital media, and sound design. He holds a PhD from the University of Salford, focusing on interactive computer music systems, alongside an MA and BA in music-related disciplines.

Education:

• PhD in Music (2013–2017): "Towards the Realisation of a fully integrated Interactive Computer Music System (ICMS)"
• MA in Music (2011–2012)
• BA in Popular Music and Recording (2008–2011)

Research interests include algorithmic composition, interactive systems for music, and the application of Markov chains in generative tools. His work often bridges music technology with environmental and community-focused art, as seen in projects like An UnSound Environment and Together Un/Tethered.

Major projects include the development of gtm.markov software for generative audio systems and collaborations with interdisciplinary teams on immersive performances. His research has been showcased in software releases, live performances, and academic journals.

Notable contributions include:

• Generative music software tools (e.g., gtm.humaniser, gtm.4Live)
• Interactive systems for live music performance
• Eco-acoustic sound installations
