About

Pete Stollery is a composer, teacher and performer based in Aberdeen, in the North East of Scotland, where he holds the position of Head of Music at the University of Aberdeen.

He composes almost exclusively in the electroacoustic medium, particularly music where there exists an interplay between the original "meaning" of sounds and sounds existing purely as sound, divorced from their physical origins. In his music, this is achieved by the juxtaposition of real (familiar) and unreal (unfamiliar) sounds to create surreal landscapes.

He is also active in music education in schools, both as a researcher and as a creator of resources.
