State-Space Composition

My research focuses on the use of state-space mathematical models applied in multi-channel sound synthesis and sound transformations.

I borrow the models of classical systems found in the control engineering context, and use their behaviour to create synthetic sound or sound transformations. Amongst these models there are mass-spring-damper systems, electronic circuits and balancing systems.

Here I show an example of an inverted pendulum model using my state-space software tool  to create gesture based on a recorded koto note.

I explore new possibilities in music language by designing real-time sonifications and sound transformations using these models.

I am interested in combining this sounds with recorded materials and live instruments, or transforming acoustic instruments in real-time.

I am also interested in developing new technologies for electroacoustic and experimental music, in particular high-resolution MIDI controllers.
