Over the past five decades, music technology has transformed the way we learn, create, experience and disseminate music.
From its state-of-the-art IMERSD studios, the Queensland Conservatorium Research Centre collaborates with film-makers, musicians, photographers, designers, and cyber artists to create and disseminate a range of media outputs in the digital environment as DigitalArts@Griffith, including CDs, DVDs, films, radio broadcasts and podcasts.
Spin-off projects include the Digital Sound Garden Sonic Babylon and Radio IMERSD, which hosts the our public lecture series 2006 - 2012, where national and international speakers present their ideas on a variety of topics relating to performance, composition, music technology, and learning and teaching.

Smart Music Research
Recently appointed Digital Arts Professor Andrew Brown is leading an Australian Research Council funded project that aims both to improve perceptual theories and to provide new techniques for algorithmic composition. This project is conducted by an international collaboration of music researchers applying theories of music perception to algorithmic composition.
Other algorithmic music research projects, led by Andrew Brown, address live coding performance and generative digital audiovisual practices.
