Biography

Dr Adam Stanović is the Programme Director for Sound and Music and a Reader in Electroacoustic Music at London College of Communication.

Adam started composing electronic music twenty-five years ago. Early experiments with tape machines and a four-track mini-disc recorder led him discover the potential of recorded sounds, and he quickly started using computers as a tool for music-making. Ever since, Adam has considered the fixed medium as a canvass for his works, which are mostly acousmatic, but sometimes accompanied by instruments, electronics, film, and animation.

Adam’s music has been heard in over 500 festivals and concerts around the world, and is available on 14 different albums. In 2023, he published his third solo album, Hymnes sans Paroles, on the empreintes DIGITALes labels, Canada, with the press describing the release as  "Impressive" (Radiohoerer; Audio), "Outstanding" (Silence and Sound), and "Visionary and Moving" (Il Manifesto).

Adam’s music has won prizes at, or been recognised in, composition competitions around the globe, including: Prix CIME (France); IMEB (France); Metamophoses (Belgium); Destellos (Argentina); Contemporanea (Italy); Computer Space (Bulgaria); Ise-Shima (Japan); SYNC (Russia); Musica Viva (Portugal); Musica Nova (Czech Republic); Ars Electronica Forum Wallis (Switzerland); KEAR (USA); MusicAcoustica (China); Prix Russolo (France), Red Jasper Award (USA); Uljus (Serbia).

Adam has worked at numerous universities, both in the UK and overseas. He has composed much of his music in international studios, including: the GRM (France); the IMEB (France); Musiques et Recherches (Belgium); VICC (Sweden); EMS (Sweden); LCM (UK); CMMAS (Mexico); Holst House (UK), Mise En Place (USA), Bowling Green (USA); Sydney Conservatorium (Australia).

Adam is regularly invited to talk about electronic music; in recent years, he has given talks at institutions around the globe, including Harvard University, Stanford University, New England Conservatory, University California Santa Barbara, Swedish Royal College of Music, Conservatorium van Amsterdam, The Sydney Conservatorium, Bowling Green Ohio.

In 2016, Adam co-founded the British ElectroAcoustic Network (BEAN), alongside James Andean, with the intention of representing British electroacoustic music overseas.
