Professor Garth Paine is a leading Australian composer, academic
and artist, specialising in sound with interactive technologies for
installation, dance and theatre applications. Garthe is internationally
regarded as an innovator in the field of interactivity in electronic music and
media arts.
Garth is particulalrly fascinated with sound as an experimental
medium, both in musical performance and as an exhibitable object. This has led
to several interactive responsive environments where the inhabitant generates
the sonic landscape through their presence and behaviour. Garth has composed
several music scores for dance generated through video tracking of the
choreography, and more recently using Bio-Sensing on the dancers body.
His immersive interactive environments have been exhibited in
Australia, Europe, Japan, USA, Canada, UK, Hong Kong and New Zealand. Garth is
currently Associate Professor in Sound Technologies at the University of
Western Sydney and Associate Professor of Arts, Media and Engineering at the
Arizona State University (USA).
Here is Garth's website with more info, bio, plus links to

And All Things Return To Nature, the
first half, begins with concepts of sound frequency and vibrational
transmission the manifestation of all life and matter, explored by Garth who
creates a a kinetically charged field of sound and vibrational energy as a
construct of 'being'. The second half, Tomorrow, is based
around a visit to the Integraton, an acoustically perfect tabernacle in the
Mojave Desert built on the site of an alleged alien abduction, using Garth to
recreate a transformative sensory experience.
