Steve (Stelios) Adam: Biographical information

I have had a long term fascination with music, sound and its associated technologies. After studying electronics and establishing a career in broadcasting with the Australian national broadcaster, I returned to study, pursuing composition and computer music at (the now defunct but famous) Music Department at La Trobe University in Melbourne, Australia.

I've composed sound and music works for a variety of media and performed with bands, instrumentalists, choirs and home-brew interactive music systems mostly using Max/MSP which I've been using on and off since the early nineties(!). Some of my electro-acoustic works have been broadcast nationally and performed in New Zealand, Europe, the US, Canada and Japan.

I've taught music composition and technology at various institutions in Australia and in 1995 established the new programs and technical facilities in composition and music technology at the School of Music/Conservatorium at Monash University in Clayton, Victoria, where I have s been a PhD candidate in the specialty of music composition for the past few years.

The rest of the time, I work on music and sound projects of a widely varying nature. A selection of recent examples can be found on the music page.
