Intelligent Musical Prediction System (IMPS)

The Intelligent Musical Prediction System (IMPS) is a system for connecting musicians and interface developers with deep neural networks. IMPS connects with any musical interface or software using Open Sound Control (OSC) and helps users to record a dataset, train a neural network, and interact with it in real-time performance.

Reflections on Self-Playing, Sensor-Driven Guitars

This installation of six self-playing, sensor-driven guitars was developed at the RITMO Centre for Interdisciplinary Studies in Rhythm, Time and Motion at the University of Oslo. Each guitar uses a distance sensor to track the movement of listeners in the environment, and sounds from an embedded computer are played through a speaker driver attached to the guitar body.

Bela, Myo, and Standstill at NIME2018

In June I travelled to NIME2018 at Virginia Tech to present some of work from the RITMO centre and EPEC project at the University of Oslo. This year, our NIME presentations were focussed on “standstill performance”—where participants have to stand as still as possible to create sound. In previous years, our group had created standstill performances using motion capture in the lab, but our new work was on ways to do this at live events, and even in installations, using the Bela single-board computer.
