Intelligent Instruments Lab, Iceland

My family and I temporarily left Berlin and relocated to Reykjavik, where I am going to join the Intelligent Instrument Lab (IIL) at the University of Iceland. There, I am going to work on extending the capabilities of the Sophtar, the musical instrument I designed to address the needs stemming from my artistic practice involving hyperorgans, networked music performance, and interactive machine learning. I built the Sophtar in collaboration with Sukandar Kartadinata and I describe it more in detail in this NIME 2024 paper. I very much look forward to working with Thor Magnusson and the other super talented researchers at IIL, starting in just a few days!
