Warren Burt

Warren Burt has been played on NTS shows including Fragrant Sacrifice w/ Naima Karlsson, with Elegy (2013) first played on 15 February 2021.

Warren Burt (born 10 October 1949 in Baltimore, Maryland) is an Australia-based composer of American birth. He is known for composing in a wide variety of new music styles, ranging from acoustic music, electroacoustic music, sound art installations, and text-based music. Burt often employs elements of improvisation, microtonality, humour, live interaction, and lo-fi electronic techniques into his music. Warren Burt attended the State University of New York, Albany (BA, 1971) and the University of California, San Diego (MA, 1975) before moving to Australia in 1975.

Since the 1970s, Burt has toured and performed his electronic and computer music internationally, and has been especially active in the fields of interactive technology (especially with dancers and actors) and microtonality. Two books are currently available: Writings from a Scarlet Aardvark: 15 Articles on Music and Art, 1981-93 (Frog Peak Music, 1993) and Critical Vices: The Myths of Post-Modern Theory (in collaboration with Nicholas Zurbrugg) (Gordon and Breach, 1999).

Currently, he is a research fellow at the University of Wollongong, writing a book on Microtonality for the Beginner.

Warren Burt is a represented creative artist of the Australian Music Centre.
