Been so lucky to end up living with strangers who’ve just been wonderful to get to know over these bizarre times. #teabringers #barbybarbies #foodbringers #alexaabusers instagram.com/p/CAbP3SbpWX4/…

I'm looking for musicians and/or audio tech peeps to participate in my online study by evaluating voice sounds! webprojects.eecs.qmul.ac.uk/bdoc3/vocal_pe… Need some keen, creative ears! Experiment takes around 20 mins and needs a computer with ear/headphones. Spread the word, and thanks!

My university is barring me (+others) carrying leave to next year (beyond 5 days always allowed). Despite: * I ran my course online March-May at the drop of a hat; * I had to cancel my May holiday due to lockdown, can't rebook; * UK law (Working Time amendment) says they should.

Well done Jacob. A fine of a QMUL MAT student sailing through!

Brushing up on voice science literature today. Naturally getting very unsettled about the complexity of my breathing apparatus and layrnx mechanisms. As always, its scary/inspiring to think about how complex and precise our biology HAS to be, CONSTANTLY. Go bodies!

I have my laptop set up so that the wifi is 100% blocked for the first 2 hours of my day, every weekday. You should do this too.

Some really fascinating research being presented this week at the AI Music Creativity conference so far! I'll be presenting my work on the perception of singing techniques live tomorrow 3:40pm BST at youtube.com/channel/UCKPmN… 👨‍🎤👩‍🎤🎛️ #aimusiccreativity #voicesynthesis #vocaltimbre

I find it so easy to be enchanted by music and extract meaning from passages, EVEN when you have prior knowledge that it was AI generated. But I often feel there are so many that do not share similar perspectives. youtube.com/watch?v=BubH5C…

On a high from presenting my research on Zero-shot Singing Technique Conversion at #CMMR2021 this week, and still soaking up the benefits of #ISMIR2021 last week. Exhausted, but so excited to follow up with people I've met at both conferences!! 😃
