HarpCI
HarpCI is a project led by Balandino Di Donato and Eleanor Turner that combines composition and performance with the harp and research in Human Computer Interaction (HCI) and Music Interaction Design (MiXD). Primary outcomes of the project are MyoSpat, a hand gesture control system for manipulation of sound and lights, […]

formuls is the algo-synth (algorithmically generated sound synthesis software) project created by James Dooley. During performance, all sound is synthesised by the formuls algo-synth: no pre-made samples are used. Its modular design features a number of sound generation and manipulation units including additive and subtractive synthesisers, slicers, sequencers and FX. Timing […]

Works that we have ‘modernised’ include Valley of Aosta, performed by the Thallein Ensemble […]
