Biography

Stuart is a Western Australian-based composer, performer, sound designer, audio engineer, and producer. His compositional work explores both acoustic and electronic instruments, and he has been commissioned by the ABC, Decibel Ensemble, Tetrafide Ensemble, the WASO New Music Ensemble, percussionist Louise Devenish, and visual artist Erin Coates. Stuart's work has also been performed by the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra and Michael Kieran Harvey, and his work has been released on Tall Poppies. Stuart won the state finals of the ASME young composers’ competition, won the Dorothy Ransom composition prize, and has also been nominated for Australian Music Centre Awards for his percussion pieces Temperaments and Kinabuhi | Kamatayon. Stuart has been a founding member of the Decibel ensemble, and has performed throughout Europe, Japan and Australia. Stuart previously managed and operated a commercial recording studio for over a decade, recording and mixing national and international artists including ShockOne, Kele Okereke, JMSN, Ta-ku, Loston, Jaime Page, and others. Stuart completed his doctoral research in spatial audio, spectral synthesis, and wave terrain synthesis, and has continued to publish regularly on music technology. Stuart was recently awarded an ECR grant to research how 3D sound can potentially be used to assist in human navigation, and how newly emergent technologies are now facilitating the potential for exploring virtual environments.
