Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolTill Bovermann is a trans-disciplinary professor, artist, and co-founder of Plonk with 19 years of experience translating natural phenomena into immersive sound, tactile and visual experiences. Trained as a computer scientist and PhD researcher, he combines rigorous scientific and engineering reasoning with humanist-driven art practice to create cross-modal sensing and auditory displays. His technical fluency spans SuperCollider plugin development, embedded electronics (Arduino), Python and Ruby, and hands-on fabrication for contact microphones and tangible interfaces. As a researcher and lecturer at institutions from Aalto to UdK and now Hochschule für Musik und Theater München, he excels at turning conceptual observations into shareable, experiential prototypes on short timescales. His work often reframes everyday elements like wind and water into unexpectedly listenable forms, prioritizing ethical material choices and hybrid ecological interaction. Active in the SuperCollider community, he has contributed core UGens used by practitioners exploring sound computing and experimental synthesis.
