Medium Biography
Originally from St. John's, Newfoundland, Geoff Martin completed his Bachelor of Music in pipe organ at Memorial University of Newfoundland in 1990. He is a graduate of McGill University's Masters of Music in Sound Recording and, in 2001, he completed his doctoral research in which he developed a method of using digital signal processing to simulate reflections from quadratic residue diffusers for multichannel acoustic environments.
Following completion of his doctorate, Geoff was a Faculty Lecturer for McGill's Music Technology area, where he taught courses in new media, electronics, and electroacoustics. In addition, he was a member of the development team for McGill's new Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Music Media and Technology (CIRMMT). He taught electroacoustic music composition and conducted the contemporary music ensemble at the University of Ottawa. He has also been a regular member of the visiting faculty in the Music and Sound Department at the Banff Centre for the Arts in Alberta, Canada. He is presently working in research and development in the Acoustics division of Bang & Olufsen a/s in Denmark where he has been since the Fall of 2002. Some of his accomplishments at Bang & Olufsen include designing the sound for loudspeakers such as the Beolab 90 and Beolab 50, and headphones such as the Beoplay H6.
Geoff was a member of the Audio Engineering Society (AES) from 1990 to 2013 and served on the executive for the Montreal Student Chapter for two years. He has published and presented numerous papers on microphone techniques, multichannel audio and virtual acoustics. In addition, he has been an invited presented to many AES conferences, speaking on subjects including recording studio practices, signal processing and automotive audio. Geoff served as the Papers Chair for the 24th International Conference of the AES titled "Multichannel Audio: The New Reality" held at The Banff Centre. He was the chair of the Conference Policy Committee and was a member of the review board for the Journal of the AES.
