Lovely dinner by all the ARME academics at “The Physician” to celebrate the completion of the first set of recordings.

At the BCU media labs, with our partners Semantic audio and Partplay, we recently recorded the musicians of the Coull quartet performing numerous pieces from Haydn and Beethoven. We asked the Coulls to play the parts multiple times in different styles (also in trios and duos formations).

We are excited that on September 1st the project has officially started! So many things to do now. We are in the planning phase of the first set of recordings. We will have multiple days of recordings with the Coull Quartet (see also their Facebook page) by our scientists together with our industry partners PartPlay and SemanticAudio.

We are pleased to have offered the Marek Sinason Memorial Fund award for the summer 2021 to Katrina Galsworthy. She earned the BSc in Liberal Arts and Sciences in Birmingham, for which she majored in Psychology, and continued to the MSc in Computational Neuroscience and Cognitive Robotics.

ARME invited Dobri Dotov for a cirtual talk. Dr Dotov is a postdoc at the LiveLab at McMaster University in Hamilton, Canada. He has experience in modelling virtual synchronising partners. He will share his experience in using the Kuramoto oscillator model to capture musical partners synchronization.

The scheleton for the ARME website was created using Wowchemy and forestry. There is virtually no content, but the content management system works and it allows the creation of post, people, publications and events.

The University of Birmingham has published a press release about the grant https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/news/latest/2021/03/lone-musicians-to-play-with-virtual-timing-sensitive-colleagues-in-a-new-immersive-rehearsal-platform.aspx
