A COMPOSER at the University of York is creating groundbreaking music for specific venues.

Dr Ambrose Field, from the department of music, is using architectural acoustics to analyse how a venue might sound, then tailor-making compositions to the location.

Dr Field said: “When you have a great building, it is fantastic to be able to write a piece of music that perfectly matches it. This composing technique allows a piece to be sculpted around the acoustics of that venue.”
