Kenneth Newby (born 1956 in Victoria, British Columbia) is a Canadian composer, performer and media artist. His art and research involve explorations in computational poetics, theorizing the role of encoded practices in new media, cultural encoding and the development of interactive and generative techniques for the composition, sonification, visualization, and spatialization of media performances and installations.

Further, the sounds of Miles Davis' trumpet, regardless of what style he is playing, would never be mistaken for anyone else. So too can be said of the music of Kenneth Graham, his touch is evident to both novice and connoisseur fans of electronic music. His tracks are always infinitely nuanced, combining equal elements of mind and machine, resulting in a sound that is both clinical and funky. No...
