+ more about Dr. David Ibbett
David Ibbett, Ph.D. is a composer, educator and musical advocate for science. His lifelong passion for science began with his father, Dr. Roger Ibbett, who is a research chemist in Nottingham, UK
David is Assistant Professor of Music at the Worcester Polytechnic Institute and maintains a close association with Berklee College of Music.
David composes electrosymphonic music: a fusion of classical and electronic styles that interweaves influences from songs, symphonies, pop, rock and electronica. Musical strands are met with inspiration from the work of scientists: sonified data, musical metaphors for scientific concepts, and experimental sound and images from contemporary research.
