    Ronald Boersen (NL/CA), School of Interactive Arts & Technology, Simon Fraser University, Surrey, BC, Canada. Ronald Boersen, born 1980 in the Netherlands, is internationally active as a composer, improviser, and sound artist. His general interests are centered around the question “What is musical expression in performance-ship?” Within this context, he aims to formulate concept frameworks and analogous algorithms exploring issues such as musical gesture, intuition, directionality, and interactivity. His work has been performed internationally in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Israel, Sweden, the United States, and Canada.

    Ronald is currently enrolled as a Ph.D. student in the School of Interactive Arts & Technology at Simon Fraser University, where his research interests include multi-agent systems in musical free-improvisation, musical gestures as enactive embodiment, and cognitive modeling in machine learning. He has completed both a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree in composition and live-electronics at the Institute of Sonology (NL), as well as a BMus in viola at the Royal Conservatoire The Hague (NL).
