For the (admittedly, vanishingly small number of) people for whom this might be of interest, my university has now uploaded my PhD thesis, together with the recordings and films www.open-access.bcu.ac.uk/15895/

Another clip, here Tom (the harpsichordist) is gradually bringing in the Spectral processing using a combination of a sewing machine pedal (!) and pressure sensors on the keys.

Here’s a short video from my ‘Augmented Harpsichord’ workshop at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama earlier this week. I’m exploring the technological augmentation of a virginal using Arduino circuits, sensors, Spectral processing, & more.

Enjoying this BBC Mozart documentary series. A little sensationalised for my taste (reminds me of that Daniel Leech Wilkinson thing about musicology being a mirror of ourselves) but not overly patronising and - it’s in the top streamed shows - perhaps doing some good! www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...
