Greg Schiemer is an Australian electronic music composer and instrument designer. A former student of Peter Sculthorpe, his music since the early 1970s became increasingly allied with the design of interactive analog and digital instruments, much of it in collaboration with dance. During the 80s and 90s, he produced live public interactive radio events such as the Concert on Bicycles and The Talk Back Piano. He has lectured in Composition and Music Technology at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music before being appointed Director of the interdisciplinary Sonic Arts Research Network at the University of Wollongong. He was recipient of an Australia Council Composition Fellowship at CSIRO Division of Radiophysics, Epping, NSW and Visiting Associate Research Fellow at the Interactive and Digital Media Institute at the National University of Singapore. His Pocket Gamelan - a network of microtonally tuned java phones developed with support from the Australian Research Council - laid foundations for developing the Satellite Gamelan mobile phone app.
