MARK OLIVEIRO

Composer/Live Electronics 

Mark Oliveiro is an Australian composer-researcher, performer, and educator working at the intersection of experimental electronics, post-glitch aesthetics, and analog synthesis. His practice couples generative systems with creative agency, integrating field recordings, live processing, and multimedia congruency. His research draws on digital autoethnography to situate composition as critical, practice-led inquiry. Oliveiro serves as President of the Australasian Computer Music Association and lectures at the Australian Institute of Music, embedding emerging technologies into pedagogy. His music has been performed by the Decibel Ensemble and collaborators across new-music, EDM, and media-art contexts. He has received commissions from Seamus, the Art Music Fund, and independent performers, creating works that span multimedia chamber music, site-responsive environmental pieces, and algorithmic systems employing Euclidean rhythms and stochastic textures. Across concert, installation, and studio settings, Oliveiro’s projects explore the intersections of culture, technology, and place through textured sound.
