UI's network and relationship with institutions, other research groups and individuals is constantly growing. To reflect, articulate and strengthen our relationships with others we invited them to become associated with UI. 

Current Associates are:

Dr Michael Fowler,

former UI member and currently the recipient of a prestigious Humboldt Scholarship, he is in 2011-2012 a researcher at the TU Berlin

As a classically trained musician, Fowler brings to UI a body of experience and knowledge concerning the relationship between systems of notation and representation, the aesthetics and impact of the avant-garde in music, performance practices in electro-acoustic music, as well as recent investigations into acoustic ecology. His expertise centres on studies into `open-form’ and indeterminacy in music, Japanese aesthetics, methodologies for visualising data, and the impact of the Japanese garden as a projective model for urban sound design
