ROBYN TAYLOR is a Canadian singer and interactive media artist.  Her research and creative interests combine her two great loves: music and technology. Robyn became involved in multimedia performance after years of studying and working as a vocalist. Her multimedia projects combine responsive video, participant interaction, virtual reality, and live performance in order to explore issues of creative agency, engagement, and co-creation in collaboratively controlled art works. Robyn has performed throughout Europe and North America, including festival performances of her interactive multimedia art in Canada, England, Mexico and Spain. She is is a member of the Advanced Man-Machine Interface Laboratory at the University of Alberta, Canada, and her work has been supported by Culture Lab Newcastle, the Alberta Foundation for the Arts, Alberta Ingenuity, iCore, and the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada. 

Robyn Taylor released her first CD, "Amethyst", a collection of original music, in 1998. She has since recorded a Christmas album, "Upon a Christmas Eve..." with longtime collaborator, pianist Frances Schuchard and is currently finishing a third full length recording project, due to be completed in 2010.  See Magazine praises her "haunting yet strong and controlled voice that's the result of years of voice training ... and a desire to add something of herself to what she's learned."  Robyn believes that compelling singing transcends genre, and enjoys performing an eclectic collection of cabaret, jazz, folk and classical pieces.
