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...
Mozart: Rise of a Genius - Series 1: Episode 1
1777: a 21-year-old Mozart leaves a secure life and job in Salzburg to become a composer. But he must overcome his mother’s tragic death and his oppressive father to break through.
