AMI RADUNSKAYA

SHORT BIO

Ms. Radunskaya has worked extensively as a cellist and composer since she was a child. Formerly of the Oakland Symphony, she has specialized in new music, touring with such groups as the Arch Ensemble for Experimental Music and the Muse and the Fuse. Her music, described as "techno-clectic", combines traditional forms with improvisation, acoustic sounds with electronic, computer-generated, and found sounds, and abstract structures with narrative visual and sonic elements. Her work can be heard on the Centaur Label, and she has also composed a number of film scores. In 1992 she received a PhD in Mathematics from Stanford University, and she is currently Associate Professor of Mathematics at Pomona College in California specializing in ergodic theory and dynamical systems, where, in addition to "straight" mathematical research, she is exploring links between the arts of Mathematics and Music.
