Meet the Composer: Kerry Hagan

We profile some of the composers who have been accepted for CMC representation over the last year.

She develops real-time methods for spatialization and stochastic algorithms, and studies the aesthetics and history of electronic music. She holds a Ph.D. in Composition from the University of California, San Diego. Currently, she is a Lecturer at the University of Limerick in the Digital Media and Arts Research Centre.

Her work (bass) (2011) for double bass solo was premiered by Christopher Williams at the Irish Chamber Orchestra Studio, Limerick on 13 February 2013.
