  • In collaboration with the Potter Group at the Laboratory for Neuroengineering at Georgia Tech, the Brain Wave project sonified signals from cultured neurons recorded by multielectrode array and was presented as a musical piece titled BrainWaves

  • In Flock, a full-evening performance work commissioned by the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts in Miami, music notation, electronic sound, and video animation are all generated in real time based on the locations of musicians, dancers, and audience members as they move and interact with each other.

  • Flou (pronounced “flew”) is not exactly a game; you do fly a ship through space, but you cannot shoot anything, score points, or win or lose. The focus, rather, is on the soundtrack: as you navigate through a 3D world and zoom through objects in space, you add loops and apply effects to an ever-evolving musical mix. You can also design your own worlds to fly through and share them with other Flou users.

  • Haile is a robotic percussionist that can listen to live players, analyze their music in real-time, and use the product of this analysis to play back in an improvisational manner. 

  • “iltur” is a series of musical compositions featuring a novel method of interaction between acoustic and electronic instruments with new musical controllers called Beatbugs.

  • Nular represents sound objects as balls in an attempt to control granular synthesis parameters through user interaction. These virtual objects move and collide with each other to determine the behavior of playing sounds.

     

     

  • Inspired by the tradition of open-form musical scores, these four piano etudes are a collection of short musical fragments with links to connect them. In performance, the pianist must use those links to jump from fragment to fragment, creating her own unique version of the composition.

  • ZOOZbeat is a gesture-based musical studio, simple enough for non-musicians to immediately become musically expressive but rich enough for experienced musicians to push the envelope of mobile music creation.
