About Barry

Dr Barry Hill is a Senior Lecturer in Creative Arts in the Faculty of Business, Law and Arts at Southern Cross University, where he holds the position of Coordinator for the Bachelor of Contemporary Music program. As a dedicated music educator, composer, and performer, he brings expertise in jazz, classical, popular music, audio engineering, ensemble direction, and arranging to his teaching in the contemporary music curriculum. Hill obtained his Bachelor of Arts degree from Monash University and earned his Doctor of Philosophy from Southern Cross University in 2010. His PhD thesis, titled 'Human-machine music: twenty-first century models of music performance practice in an Australian contemporary music community,' employed a practice-based research methodology to investigate innovative creative processes within the live electronica music scene. This work featured a multimedia performance and exegesis that highlighted the interplay between conventional musicianship and computerized instruments in response to social, economic, and technological shifts. Prior to joining Southern Cross University, Hill served as Coordinator of the Bachelor of Music Industry Program at RMIT University from 2007 to 2011.
