My current affiliation is with Aalborg University in Copenhagen, where I hold a position as associate professor.
Before joining Medialogy [1] in 2008, I was doing post doctoral research with Prof. David Huron [2] at Ohio State University [3] (2006), and with Prof. Eckart Altenmüller at Institute for Music Physiology and Music Medicine in Hannover [4] (2007-2008), on a Marie Curie fellowship [5].
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 [6]"
I have been working in the European projects The Sounding Object (SOb) [7] and Multisensory Expressive Gesture Applications (MEGA) [8]. For MEGA I was very involved in putting up the interactive game Ghost in the Cave [9]. I was also a Swedish delegate for the cost action 287 ConGAS - Gesture CONtrolled Audio Systems [10].
Research interests:
- Drumming
- Players' motor control and interaction with the instrument
- Production and perception of timing and tempo
- Capture and analysis of expressive movement gestures
