Research and teaching that combines music study and performance with acoustics, signal processing, telecommunications, and computing.

An Expressive Language for the Oboe

MRL awarded a Provost's Multidisciplinary Award: Visualizing the Shape of Sound - A Study of Musical Expression on the Oboe, along with Professor Richard Killmer of ESM.

Along with students Michael Ren (ECE), Justin Lundberg (ESM), and Gregory Bocko (ECE), we have been combining Professor Killmer's teaching methods with sound analysis and symbolic representation to attempt to create an expressive language for the oboe.
