Ph.D. Researcher (alumni)
Biography:
Edu Meneses is a music technologist, composer, and performer in the best interdisciplinary fashion.
He is currently a Ph.D. researcher in music technology at McGill University. He works at IDMIL and CIRMMT with embedded systems for digital musical instruments (Linux/Rpi and ESP32) and leads research-creation projects with product development and art-oriented usability evaluation.
Some projects include the GuitarAMI, the T-Stick, Probatio, Latency/communication in digital musical instruments, and Le Vivier Mobile. These projects explored gestural control of sound systems, DSP, mapping (including sound spatialization), instrument/installation design, and of course, music composition/performance.
Edu is also a music technology instructor at McGill, lecturing New Media-related disciplines.
