Olivier Pasquet is a composer, music producer, and visual artist. His work is based on the writing of audio-visual compositions and synesthesias. His generative pieces are minimalists and maximalists at the same time, contextualized within rationalist theory-fictions. After composition studies in Cambridge with Richard Hoadley, and lectures with Trevor Wishart and Iannis Xenakis, he works in several popular music studios and does a short visit at INA-GRM. He got his Ph.D. in musical composition and non-standard architecture at Huddersfield University with Pierre Alexandre Tremblay. He orientates his work toward staged, contemporary music, and media art. He has collaborated with a wide variety of artists mostly at IRCAM-Centre Pompidou for decades. He confronts his sonic compositions with reality through performance art, dance, opera, music, and contemporary theatre. His pieces also materialize in the form of physical installations and purely electronic music. He played worldwide, and sometimes danced, in galleries, clubs, specific sites, and dozens of eminent international festivals. Olivier Pasquet taught interactive arts and computational design at Ecole Nationale des Arts Décoratifs, theatre-music at Théâtre National de Strasbourg etc. He also has been a guest professor at the National Taiwan University of the Arts, the Hochschule der Künste Bern, and NY Buffalo University. He has been a researcher at Tokyo, Keio, and Buffalo Universities. He worked at Sony CSL and Ableton as a consultant. He was a researcher at the Institute for Computer Music at the Zurich University of the Arts, and part of the artistic machine learning research project, European Flucoma. He is currently a professor in computational arts at Goldsmiths, University of London. He received several prizes and residencies such as Villa Médicis, Tokyo Wonder Site, and Arcadi, both in Chile and Taiwan.
