      • Cătălin Crețu, PhD, composer and multimedia artist from Romania. He composes mostly orchestral, chamber, choral, piano, electroacoustic, and multimedia works that are performed in concert halls, theaters and exhibitions all over Europe.
        He studied electromechanics at the Technical University of Petroșani from 1990–95, and musical pedagogy at the Western University of Timișoara and at the National University of Music in Bucharest from 1993–98. At UNMB he also studied composition with Dan Dediu and Adrian Iorgulescu from 1996–2001 and earned his PhD title under Octavian Nemescu in 2008.
        His abroad studies include a stage with Peter Michael Hamel at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater in Hamburg in 2001–02 and multimedia composition with Georg Hajdu from 2005–07. In march 2012 he completed the post doctoral studies MIDAS at UNMB, with a dissertation and concert regarding implementing the sensor technology in contemporary music.
        Cretu worked as music secretary at the National University of Music in Bucharest from 2002–08. Since 2008 he is the Head of Electroacoustic music and Multimedia Center of the National University of Music Bucharest.
        During his artistic residency at the ICST, Cătălin Crețu will be working on a new composition for bajan and live electronics. His work will focus on the acoustic transformation of pre-recorded sound materials, as well as on generating new material, by means of the diverse software tools available at the Kompositionstudio. Designing sound-spacing algorithms in Max/MSP (using the 18-loudspeaker system) is also intended, based on the Ambisonics collection of objects.
