Biography

Charles Martin is a specialist in percussion, music technology, and musical AI. He has developed new interfaces for musical performance, exploring creative computing and human-AI interaction. His doctoral research focused on intelligent agents that mediate ensemble performance. After completing his PhD at the Australian National University, he was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Oslo, where he contributed to the Engineering Prediction and Embodied Cognition project at the RITMO Centre for Interdisciplinary Studies in Rhythm, Time, and Motion from 2016 to 2019. During this time, he developed smartphone apps and embedded devices to predict musical intentions in performances. In 2019, Martin returned to the Australian National University as a lecturer in the Computer Science department. He is also a visiting scientist at CSIRO and has previously held an Associate Professor position at the University of Oslo. Martin's interests include improvisation and collaborative performance, evidenced by his founding of the touchscreen ensemble Metatone and the percussion group Ensemble Evolution.
