Performing at Audio Mostly 2017
Just back from a fantastic week in London attending the Audio Mostly conference held at Queen Mary University by the Centre for Digital Music. Audio Mostly is a conference which brings together musicians, sound designers, and technologists to discuss their latest understandings. This year the theme of the conference was Augmented and [...]
Towards grabbing and throwing sounds away
Over the last year, I’ve been working on the development of an interactive audio spatialiser designed to move a vocal sound during musical performance. I tried to solve this problem by empowering the user to position the sound within an acoustic space through orienting the arm in that position (read more about it). It was [...]
Glasgow School of Art showreel
Great to see our AHRC Digital Transformations project featured in our project partner Glasgow School of Art's digital showreel (at 23 seconds in).
esthesis: performance at MiXD
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBRzhuQ3W5w As part of our AHRC Digital Transformations project "Transforming Transformation" we commissioned a new artistic work to explore the concept of transforming sound through touch-free interaction within a creative context. To say we are delighted with the results would be an understatement! esthesis, the new system and work by [...]
Transforming Transformation Experiment 4
https://vimeo.com/album/3830936/video/152990816 This is the fourth experiment in a 1-year AHRC Digital Transformations project run jointly between Birmingham Conservatoire’s Integra Lab and Glasgow School of Art’s Digital Design Studios. The project explores new ways of positioning sound in space using touch-free interaction. In this experiment we use the Microsoft Kinect [...]

equinode for Vagiti Ultimi Spoiler!
Just a quick spoiler about ‘equinode’, an interactive installation created for Vagiti Ultimi 2015, which will be running from 26th August until 14th September in Atri (Teramo, Italy). The installation has been realised by me, James Dooley and Guido Iommarini as members of the new born Star Node group. Our work has been [...]
Making in Bham
I’m based in Birmingham since May 2013, and everyone around me makes things and stuff. Currently, they are building in every corner of the city centre, they do indoor and outdoor exhibitions, concerts, they read in parks (unless the library is open, see the picture…………………). So, few months ago I have decided [...]
Exploration of mixed reality using Integra Live and Myo armband.
A few months ago I posted a video (at the end of the page) about one of my experiments, yet I haven’t written anything about it so far. As summer is not always sunny and warm (in the UK), I’m now putting down everything I never wrote about. In an effort to define [...]
Visit at K-Array laboratories
Everything began when I first saw the following video regarding the K-Array KW8 speakers (aka Owl). https://youtu.be/VIHHcj4pU1c After I saw such video, I just wrote an e-mail to the K-Array team about my interest to use such technology in combination with gestural devices. They answered positively, and after a [...]
MyoMapper (beta version)
Just back from ICAD15, where students and researchers asked me about the system I've used to hack the Myo armband. When I just started to work with the Myo I've developed Myo2MIDI, which is a Myo connector able to convert Myo data into MIDI values. However this solution wasn't the best one, because [...]
Transforming Transformation experiment 1
https://vimeo.com/131588660 This is the initial experiment in a 1 year AHRC Digital Transformations project run jointly between Birmingham Conservatoire’s Integra Lab and Glasgow School of Art’s Digital Design Studios. The project will explore the creative applications of 3D sound manipulation, specifically sound spatialisation. In this first experiment a basic [...]

Fully articulated hand tracking with Kinect 2
This video from MicroSoft Research shows some of the hand-tracking capabilities of the Kinect. Shame this functionality isn't yet in the public SDK as it would've been highly relevant to our project. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-xXrMpOHyc
