Emmy Award-nominated composer, music technologist, and educator, Dr. Hideki Isoda, dedicates each day to the relentless pursuit of innovation. Isoda's research explores new possibilities to elevate the artistry of sound, pushing the boundaries of musical expressions through his novel AI-driven motion-sensing musical instrument (RIAX), which has transformed the approaches of generative music and live performances. Born in 1970 in Yokohama, Japan, his profound passion for electrical engineering, particularly building synthesizers and sound devices, ignited his journey into the world of music at an early age. He had formal musical training throughout his childhood and further developed his skills in both music and engineering through his studies at Indiana University, Berklee College of Music, and The University of Sydney, where he earned a Ph.D. in Composition and Music Technology. Isoda composed soundtracks for NHK Japan, PBS America, and other broadcasters. He is also recognized as a leading recording, mixing, and mastering engineer, having produced numerous classical and jazz albums for acclaimed musicians across the globe. His collaboration with Grammy Award-winning producer Michael Fine highlighted an outstanding orchestral album release from Sony Classical in 2022. Dr. Isoda served as Associate Dean of Technology and Distance Learning at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music (2007-2013) and as Professor of Music and Chair of the Interdisciplinary Program for Creative Contents and Technology at Sookmyung Women's University in Seoul (2013-2020). He is a full-time faculty member and Director of Media Production at Texas Tech University School of Music, where he teaches composition, Recording Technology, and Music Informatics courses (2020-Present). Hideki resides in Lubbock with his wife Hyejin, daughter, and son.
As a researcher and professor, I am passionate about helping others create innovations that can make the world an even better place. Nothing brings me greater joy than seeing my students get inspired by what's possible when we work together to innovate! Dr. Hideki Isoda |
