Dr Aki Pasoulas, a former PhD student and Visiting Lecturer at the Centre for Music Studies, has been appointed Lecturer in Sonic Arts at the University of Kent. Aki will be developing the BMus, BSc and MA programmes with Prof Tim Howle and City alumnus Dr Paul Fretwell, and he is looking forward to expanding on his research on timescales in electroacoustic music.

He is currently a board member of the UK and Ireland Soundscape Community, and between 2004 and present he taught at universities in London including City, Middlesex and the University of the Arts. Aki’s PhD compositions are continuously performed across the world. His early acousmatic piece Chronos was selected for this year’s International Computer Music Conference to be held in Ljubljana, Slovenia.
