GroupLoop is a browser-based, collaborative audio feedback control system for musical
performance. GroupLoop users send their microphone stream to other participants while …

Thanks to the development of new technology, musical instruments are no more tied to their
existing acoustic or technical limitations as almost all parameters can be augmented or …

For around 300 years, humans have been learning to play the modern piano either with a
teacher or on their own. In recent years teaching and learning have been enhanced using …

There is a longstanding disconnect between mechanical models of the piano, in which key
velocity is the sole determinant of each note's sound, and the subjective experience of …

We examined perception of artificial timbre blending using recordings of two actual
instruments. In Experiment 1, participants heard stimuli comprising different proportions of …

Abstract This paper introduces BioComputer Music, an experimental one piano duet
between pianist and plasmodial slime mould Physarum polycephalum. This piece …

This paper is concerned with the active control of a string. A nonlinear Kirchhoff-Carrier
model of the transverse vibration of a string is considered (presenting a pitch glide at high …

A simple active control method is described which extends the possibilities of a xylophone
bar. It allows the performer to modify the vibration of its structure, unlike post-processing …

The use of transducers to excite physical modelling synthesisers with real-world audio
signals is a well-established practice within the digital musical instrument design community …

Une première contribution de cette thèse concerne une combinaison d'une loi de
commande en temps fini (pour l'efficacité) avec la passivité (pour garantir la robustesse, par …
