      Further hint, antonio:

      "...the isle is full of noises,
      Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
      Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
      Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

          Kasia Glowicka born 1977 - Turbulence (2009), for live video and electronics

          Glowicka was born in Oleśnica. She graduated from the Academy of Music in Wrocław in 2001 after studying with the composer Grażyna Pstrokońska-Nawratil. During 2000 she held an internship with Italian composer Ivan Fedele at the Conservatory in Strasbourg and later studied with Dutch composers, Louis Andriessen and Martijn Padding at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague, of which she is also a graduate. She also completed a PhD focusing on computer music at the Sonic Arts Research Centre at the Queen's University Belfast in 2008.

          "UNIT" being such a common word, that googling it with "Queens Belfast composer" simply seems to bring up various industrial units in Belfast.

          There is a website about contemporary music in Ireland which may or may not contain the answer. Really haven't got time to plough through every listed composer.




          googling "husband wife Belfast composers" has taught me all about wife-swapping north of the border

            Brilliant mercs but if you look in wiki you will see the good lady is married to Henry Vega another composer who studied at Queens and the composer, from his website, of Unit in 2008.

            So unless you are keen to set an R which I doubt we look to Cloughers who first arrived at Queens.......
