Besides a practical training in programming and electrical engineering, Alexander Carôt has actively been playing bass and Chapman-stick in several rock, pop and jazz ensembles. Combining this with his passion for sound engineering, he passed an interdisciplinary study program in order to integrate arts and technology in his research and performances.
Driven by the dream of remote music performances with musicians in different places, he started PhD related research in 2004 at the University of Lübeck/Germany. In this context he developed the Soundjack software which has been used in various network music performances all over Europe. Apart from valuable collaborations with CCRMA/Stanford, SARC/Belfast and IRCAM/Paris he is continuously improving Soundjack in terms of the Fraunhofer ULD Codec integration (Ultra Low Delay).
Currently he is a member of the avantgarde jazz project „Triologue“, and focuses his research on new QoS (Quality of Service) approaches for network music performances.
