Presentations about the Physics of Music Instruments (Gent, 2022 - 2024)
In 2023 I was invited by KU Leuven in Gent to give a stimulating/entertaining presentation about musical acoustics for young students. The presentation focused on wind instrument, in particular on the acoustics of trombones and after the presentation there was the fantastic concert of the trombone quartet CROSSBONES, who also played with my newly printed 3D printed trombone mouthpieces. The presentation was much fun and I was invited to give it again in 2025..this time about something I know even better..saxophones!

Digital Music Interfaces
Interactive Music Glow
The interactive music glow is a wearable music controller developed by Tom and Valerio during the TimeLab Gent 2013:
“We all start dancing to music, don’t we? How about reversing the process. Why not start dancing and let the music flow out of the moves you make, converting dance into music, using various sensors like : Wii nunchuck, ldr, potentiometers to capture the movement and gestures and convert them into midi signals.”
Synth Cube
The Synth Cube is a 3D printed speaker able to synthesise sounds and play them though two speakers. Sounds and colours change depending how you turn over the cube.
