Doug Blackley Bio Doug Blackley was introduced to modular synthesizers at Edmonton’s Grant Mackewan University, prior to obtaining his Bachelor of Music degree in percussion at the University of Alberta. Doug's Theatre scoring and sound design work includes three Sterling Awards, (seven nominations), and a Dora Mavor Moore Award nomination. A highlight was his work at the Citadel Theatre as resident sound designer and music composer for Robin Phillips. Doug later co-created a dance company, "Rhythmatix", with Krista Monsen. In Vancouver, Doug received a Leo Award for best original film/tv score, for Tokyo Girls, and was nominated for a West Coast Music Award. Recently, Doug was a composer on the Science Fiction Channel series Sanctuary. Doug received his MFA degree from Simon Fraser University, supported by a SSHRC Joseph-Armand Bombardier Canada Graduate Scholarship. There he created the ‘Spectral Piano:’ a device to allow an acoustic piano to create dramatic new sounds by ‘bowing’ the strings with electro-magnets. This augmented piano remains fully acoustic, requiring no speakers, yet is able to produce continuous sound (like a pipe organ), pitch bend, shimmer, produce plucked sounds, and create many other new timbres. Doug is a Music and Audio Instructor at The Art Institute of Vancouver.
