About Me
Kenrick Ho (b.1997) is a Toronto-born, Hong Kong-raised, and now UK-based composer-researcher currently completing a PhD in composition at the University of Leeds. His practice-led thesis, supervised by Martin Iddon and Freya Bailes, explores creative opportunities that emerge within various kinds/levels of human agencies in AI embodiment through experimental composition. More specifically, his research/music engages with questions about the physicality of performance, embodied cognition, and more broadly, the manifold interrelationship between the performer, composer, and the machine as artistic decision makers. He is expected to complete his doctoral degree by September 2023.
