Digital Expression and Representation of Rhythm (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Music provides a means to explore time by sequencing musical events in a seemingly endless and expressive way. This potential often far exceeds the ability of digital systems to enable composers and performers to explore musical time, perhaps due to...

Fun with Interfaces (SVG Interfaces for Musical Expression) (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In this paper we address the design and implementation of custom controller interfaces, bridging the issue of user mapping between action and sound in interactive music systems. A simple framework utilizing functional specifications for musical inter... Read More about Fun with Interfaces (SVG Interfaces for Musical Expression).

Return to temperament (In digital systems) (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Considering the generation of musical tunings, it is reasonable to expect that the many constructs contained in Functional programming languages may provide useful tools for exploring both conventional and new tunings. In this paper we present a numb... Read More about Return to temperament (In digital systems).

Leimu: Gloveless music interaction using a wrist mounted leap motion
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Camera-based motion tracking has become a popular enabling technology for gestural human-computer interaction. However, the approach suffers from several limitations, which have been shown to be particularly problematic when employed within musical c...

Outside the block syndicate: Translating Faust's algebra of blocks to the arrows framework
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Folklore has it that Faust’s algebra of blocks can be represented in Hughes’ algebra of Arrows. In this paper we formalise this understanding, showing that blocks can indeed be encoded with Causal Commutative Arrows.
Whilst an interesting finding in... Read More about Outside the block syndicate: Translating Faust's algebra of blocks to the arrows framework.

Studying how digital luthiers choose their tools
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Digital lutherie is a sub-domain of digital craft focused on creating digital musical instruments: high-performance devices for musical expression. It represents a nuanced and challenging area of human-computer interaction that is well established an... Read More about Studying how digital luthiers choose their tools.

Insights into how digital luthiers approach design
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The design of digital musical instruments represents a complex role that incorporates creative practice, design and engineering. It is, of course, a deep discussion topic and research focus within the NIME community. This paper discusses how digital... Read More about Insights into how digital luthiers approach design.
