Michael Cerulli Billingsley is a lifelong journalist and former print publisher whose passion for observed science and patterns in culture & natural phenomena has led him to deeply explore climate, geologic and astronomic trends of the past 200 centuries.  The Holocene and its emerging human cultures (including the "now") continue to strongly hold his interest.

Billingsley is a member of a number of scientific societies and associations, as well as the international Audio Engineering Society.  He has received grants from several prestigious Canadian and American arts agencies for his multidisciplinary media arts work, and now frequently sits on awards panels for the Irish Film & Television Academy (of which he was a founding Member in the Sound Section). He is a Canadian citizen resident in the United States, and conducts field research annually in Ireland.
