Dmitri Tymoczko is a Professor of Music at Princeton University, where he has taught composition and theory since 2002. His work bridges the gap between academic music theory and contemporary composition, creating a unique interdisciplinary approach that has earned him recognition as a leading figure in modern music scholarship and creation. Tymoczko's research interests focus on the geometric modeling of musical structures, polystylistic composition that draws from genres spanning Renaissance to rock, and the mathematical foundations of tonality. His theoretical work explores how harmonic structures can be represented geometrically, revealing fundamental patterns that connect diverse musical traditions. He approaches composition as 'a logical deduction from absurd premises,' blending rigorous structural thinking with playful musical exploration. His scholarly publications and compositions reveal a consistent interest in the intersection of mathematical precision and expressive freedom. The articles demonstrate expertise across music theory, composition, and the cognitive aspects of musical perception, with recurring themes of geometric modeling, tonal structure, and genre hybridization. His work often challenges traditional boundaries between academic and popular music forms. Guggenheim fellowship Rhodes Scholarship Leonard Bernstein fellowship from Tanglewood Fellowship from the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study Block lectureship from the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics First music-theory article published in Science magazine Tymoczko maintains an active performance career alongside his academic work, with his compositions performed by leading ensembles including the Brentano Quartet, Newspeak, and Roomful of Teeth. His teaching integrates theoretical insights with practical composition, fostering a generation of musicians who understand music's structural foundations while embracing creative freedom. He has developed innovative tools like the musical programming language 'arca' to explore new compositional possibilities.

Øystein Elle is an Associate Professor in Music and Performing Arts at Østfold University College, holding positions at both the Faculty of Teacher Education and Languages and the Academy of Performing Arts. He has been affiliated with the institution since 2006, initially as a teacher of singing, composition and improvisation, then as a research fellow, and since autumn 2017 as an associate professor. Elle earned his Master of Arts from the Hoogeschool voor de Kunsten in Utrecht, Netherlands, and a Bachelor of Arts from the Music Conservatory at the University of Agder. He completed a doctorate in performing arts with interdisciplinary composition as his specialty and was a scholarship holder at the National Program for Artistic Development from 2013-2017. His research focuses on performance, post-dramatic theatre, composed theatre, intercultural art production, avant-gardism, cross-artistic composition, and extended vocal techniques. His work bridges Baroque, Dadaism, and European/North American Avant-Garde traditions, creating polystylistic compositions that alternate between atonal, melodic, noise-based, collage-influenced and improvised styles. His artistic practice particularly explores music-driven dramaturgy and "Composed Theatre." Elle's recent publications reveal a strong focus on experimental performance, sensory aesthetics, and interdisciplinary work, with particular attention to performance for young children (0-3 years) through projects like "Rock me Baby" and "Stemmestammen." His work increasingly explores political dimensions through public interventions and direct action theater, while maintaining his signature blend of vocal experimentation and cross-cultural influences. Funding from Arts Council of Norway Funding from Composers' Remuneration Fund Funding from Fund for Performing Artists Funding from Fund for Sound and Image Funding from New Music Funding from Ministry of Foreign Affairs Elle has collaborated extensively with international institutions including NTNU (editing the anthology "The Complexity and Width of Music Studies"), the University of South-East Norway (research on avant-gardism in music education), the American College in Athens and Patras University (research on ancient Greek masks), and the Kindergarten Teacher Training Program at HiØ (editing "Art Encounters and Aesthetic Processes with the Youngest Children"). He leads the Capto Musicae project, creating sonic and musical theatre in contemporary artistic contexts, and is involved in research groups focused on creativity, art and innovation in education, knowledge creation through artistic research, and material strategies. His artistic collective, Capto Musicae, has produced over 30 performing arts productions presented across Europe, Asia, the USA and South America, often featuring collaborations with international artists from diverse disciplines. Current projects include "HEXE," a physical performance concert bridging Nordic and Japanese culture, continuing his exploration of avant-garde traditions and intercultural dialogue.
