Ross Whyte
Ross Whyte is a composer based in Aberdeen, Scotland.
He is currently undertaking a practice-based PhD at the University of Aberdeen where his field of research is concerned with audio-visual intermedia and headphone-specific composition.
He composes in a wide variety of mediums which include solo and ensemble, electroacoustic, audio-visual installation, dance, theatre and film. Recently, Ross composed the score, sound design and video elements for a production of Martin McDonagh’s play The Pillowman which will be performed at The Lemon Tree in Aberdeen from 29-31 March 2012.
His compositional output in recent years has explored erosion through reproduction and often contains the underlying theme of impermanence. This is discussed in his paper “Perpetual Erosion: Impermanence in Audio-Visual Intermedia”.
He often lectures composition courses at the University of Aberdeen in Electroacoustic Music and Contemporary Musical Theatre, and also runs the University’s Balinese Gamelan Ensemble.
Ross has received several awards including the Chris Cadwur James Award for Composition, two Derek Ogston Postgraduate Scholarships and a grant from the Aberdeen Endowments Trust for a Subsequent Degree (PhD).
