Robin Fox is a Melbourne based sound artist currently working with live digital media in improvised, composed and collaborative settings. He has submitted a PhD in composition, at Monash University focussing on the development of multi-channel performance ecologies and the design of interactive electro-acoustic situations that explore the dynamic between performer, space and computer.

He also creates audio-visual works for the cathode ray oscilloscope which have been released on the dvd ‘backscatter’ (synaesthesia records). The DVD has recently screened at the Rotterdam International Film Festival and the Mittwoschule in Berlin and live audiovisual performances have taken place across Europe in 2004, at the Netmage festival, Bologna, the Wien Modern festival, Vienna and the Transacoustic festival, Auckland in 2005. This work, in constant development, is currently being realised with a high-powered, audio controlled laser system.

He has performed with some of the world’s leading improvisers including Jon Rose, Tony Buck, Clayton Thomas (album Substation released by Room40 records 2005), Erkki Veltheim, Natasha Anderson and Sean Baxter among many others and has an ongoing collaborative duo with composer/performer Anthony Pateras. This duo is documented on Coagulate released through synaesthesia in 2003 and Flux Compendium released on eMego in 2006. He is also a member of Beta-erko, a quartet recently released on Berlin based Quecksilber label.

Fox is a regular performer and speaker at Festivals around Australia (What is Music, Liquid Architecture, Electrofringe, SOOB, NowNOW, Big Day Out) and performs regularly across Europe.

Robin has performed in several JOLT shows as a featured artist: ROBOTICON, NEBULON, INTERACTACON
