Malisa Santigul is an undergraduate student at SAE College and Middlesex University, London pursuing a BA (Hons) in Recording Arts.

Her research explores algorithmic music composition methods and the use of arbitrary data to produce music (in this case Enology - the science of wine and winemaking).

This project also addresses user-centered design issues, namely experience design, interaction design, interface design, human behavior/factors, information architecture, usability and human computer interaction.
