Dr. Jonathan N. Middleton is currently a visiting professor at the TAUCHI unit of the School of Information Sciences at the University of Tampere. He is currently serving a multi-year residency where he is working on data-to-music sonification research supported by Tekes funding. Jonathan is a composer, music researcher, and professor based at Eastern Washington University. His creative interests include spontaneous approaches to composition through stream of consciousness and algorithmic composition. The foundation of his work is created from Web-based software he originally designed in 2004. The application, available on the Web at musicalgorithms.org or musicalgorithms.ewu.edu, provides a user-friendly environment where users can create music from varied data sources. Jonathan's work in sonification is collaborative; his most recent work involves partnerships with researchers in the areas of biochemistry (proteins), agricultural economics, and environmental science (salmon).
