Dr Cameron Auchterlonie Dodds

Cameron Dodds is an interdisciplinary composer and researcher specialising in "weirding-as-process" and the role of fiction within experimental music. His work focuses on the, perhaps imaginary, intersection between deep temporal, ritual practices and future-oriented, speculative technologies. His current research/artistic project is called the Haunted Network Research Initiative which posits the sudden disappearance of Cameron Dodds, the composer, and the attempts to recreate his compositional output by a time-travelling research laboratory. The project is about the anxieties of the outsider composer, imaginary aesthetics, and non-human agency in composition.

He holds a PhD in composition from The Guildhall School of Music and Drama and currently lectures in composition at The University of West London.
