BiographyMy current affiliation is with Aalborg University Copenhagen, Department of Media Technology where I have an appointment as assistant professor. Since I defended my thesis at KTH Speech,Music, and Hearing in 2005, I have worked with Professor David Huron at Ohio State University (2006), and with Professor Eckart Altenmüller at
Institute for Music
Physiology and Music Medicine in Hannover (2007-2008), on a Marie Curie fellowship.
Being a drummer,
I've taken special interest in percussionists' interaction with their instrument.
Percussionists are musicians with highly specialised movements, and they are also
expected to perform the same rhythmic pattern under varying circumstances (meaning different
surfaces, mallets etc.)
My research has included studies of movements and timing in drumming, perception of
timing and rhythm, and the expressivity in players' movements. Some of this was included in my PhD Thesis:
"On the beat: Human movement and timing in the production and
perception of music" |
