Travis West
Travis West studies the process of designing digital musical instruments, particularly the way control interfaces are connected to sound synthesizers i.e. the design of mappings.
Travis West is a multidisciplinary programmer, composer-performer, and musical instrument designer. His research explores the design of gestural interfaces, sound synthesis algorithms, and the mappings made between the two. These inquiries culminate in the creation of new digital musical instruments and interactive systems such as the body:suit:score, a full-body wearable vibrotactile musical score, and the mubone, a trombone-enabled digital-acoustic musical instrument made in collaboration with trombonist Kalun Leung. Travis completed his Bachelors in Electroacoustic Music Composition at Concordia University in 2017, and his Masters degree in Music Technology at 成人VR视频 in 2020.
