Work includes MIDI retrofits, optical performance capture, and bespoke digital instruments, engineered for stable long-term use in acoustic instrument contexts.\nMIDI Retrofits: Custom MIDI systems tailored to each instrument\u0026rsquo;s mechanics, with a focus on clean integration. Custom Digital Instruments: New electronic and hybrid instruments built around real keybeds, with capabilities including polyphonic aftertouch, housed in purpose-built cases made in collaboration with instrument makers. On-Site Installation: Installation, testing, and documentation for museum and university environments. Optical Performance Capture System for Harpsichord # PHOTON is a non-invasive optical sensing system that captures high-resolution key motion data from historical keyboard instruments. It combines custom sensor arrays, embedded firmware, and data-processing software to generate standard MIDI output and higher-resolution performance datasets for scientific research and music information retrieval (MIR).
