Research Chairs and Senior Research Fellowships 2020-21
Andrew McPherson's research explores the design of new digital musical instruments, drawing on embedded hardware systems, human-computer interaction and musical practice. Despite steady advances in computational modelling of acoustic instrument sounds, digital instruments still lag far behind their traditional counterparts in the nuance of interaction. The fundamental problem is not computational power, but rather the bottleneck of physical-digital integration, and especially of capturing the range and subtlety of a performer's actions.
