Dr Duncan MacLeod (FRSA) is an award-winning composer, sound artist, and interdisciplinary researcher, whose work spans concert music, sound installations, and participatory arts. Influenced by folklore, sociopolitical issues, and a connection to place, his work explores human relationships with land and ecosystems in the Anthropocene. An area of focus is placemaking through interactive soundwalks, which include a series of works mapped across Uist developed in partnership with Taigh Chearsabhagh Museum & Arts Centre, that seek to promote kinship with the islands’ heritage, culture, and landscapes through spoken word, music and creative sound practices.
Duncan studied composition and sonic arts at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama, the Institute of Sonology and Royal Conservatoire (Netherlands), and holds a PhD in composition from the University of Kent/Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music & Dance. He is a fellow of the Higher Education Academy and Royal Society of Arts, and chair of the Ivors Academy Senate Scotland.
