In 1994 he moved to London and, funded by the British Academy, received a PhD in Composition from City University. Field served as a board director of the UK’s Sonic Arts Network (the forerunner to today’s Sound and Music Organisation) in the late 1990s.

Field’s work with technology and composition is the recipient of several international awards, including three Prix Ars Electronica Honorary Mentions in 2006, 1997 and 1996. He has been a resident artist at Asphodel/Recombinant Media Labs in San Francisco, at HFG in Karlsruhe, Germany, and a composer in the electronic music studio of Hungarian National Radio in Budapest funded by UNESCO.

New sounds, new structures and new methods of creating and performing music are his primary research concerns. Prof Field has led courses and given guest lectures internationally from China to the USA on contemporary music issues.
