About Matt Rogalsky
Matt Rogalsky's activity as a performing and exhibiting composer and media artist often focuses on exploration of abject, invisible/inaudible, or ignored streams of information. Recent sound installations include ANT/LIFE/ART/WORK, listening in to the sound world of thatching ants, and Memory Like Water, exploring the flow and malleability of memory. His live performances have included solo electronic works and collaborations with Jane Henry, Anne La Berge, Anne Wellmer, Ian Birse and Laura Kavanaugh, and others. Rogalsky holds an undergraduate degree in Fine and Performing Arts (Music Concentration) from the School of Contemporary Arts at Simon Fraser University (Canada), an MA in Music from Wesleyan University (USA), and a Ph.D. in Music from City University London (UK). He is currently Assistant Professor in the School of Music at Queen's University (Kingston Ontario Canada), and his areas of research include histories, reconstructions and new performances of late 20th century electronic and experimental music, by David Tudor, Alvin Lucier, Phill Niblock, John Cage, and others. In May 2010 he was consultant to Rambert Dance in London UK, on behalf of the Merce Cunningham Dance Company, in development of Rambert's staging of Cunningham's RainForest, with music by David Tudor. While in London he also made a new performance of David Tudor's Virtual Focus in a private event hosted by art collectors Adam and Carolyn Barker-Mill. Rogalsky's writing has been published in Organised Sound, Circuit: Musiques Contemporaines, Leonardo Music Journal, Canadian Theatre Review, Social and Cultural Geography, Public, and Musicworks. A double CD of original electroacoustic music was released in 2006 on XI Records. Other works have been released in private editions. Another side of Rogalsky's audio work is in engineering, mixing and production. Most notable projects are acclaimed albums by The Gertrudes and PS I Love You (2009/10). He also plays electric guitar and mandolin as a member of The Gertrudes.
