Bill Bruford spent a working life as an internationally-known musician with Yes, King Crimson, Bruford, and Earthworks before stepping out of practice to investigate aspects of creativity in popular music performance. Having earned his PhD from the University of Surrey in 2016, he now writes and lectures on the topic, travelling extensively to multiple European and North American institutions. His latest book Uncharted: Creativity and the Expert Drummer, University of Michigan Press (2018),  guides the reader through the many dimensions of creative performance, and offers fresh insights into in-the-moment interactional processes in music.  Bill lives in the Surrey Hills in the UK with his wife, Carolyn. His life’s work as a musician is well documented on CD and DVD at Summerfold and Winterfold Records and at www.billbruford.com . He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the group ‘Yes’ in 2017. YouTube Facebook https://billbruford.com
