Last week, 3 members of our lab travelled to @uniofnottingham to attend the AI Music Studies conference 2026! Andrew McPherson & Teresa Pelinski presented "Of Ghosts and Slop: is there 'an' AI Music Aesthetic?". Additionally, Andrew McPherson, Teresa Pelinski, and Francisco Bernardo participated in the 'MusAI' panel discussions.

Teresa Pelinski @allienski is a final-year PhD student at the Augmented Instruments Lab @augmentedinstrumentslab at Queen Mary University of London. Her PhD is the first to be sponsored by Bela, and as part of her research she has been exploring how neural networks can support creative practice on embedded systems.

During an initial internship with Bela in 2023, Teresa began developing **pybela**, a Python library that allows real-time communication between a C++ Bela program and a Python script or Jupyter notebook. This makes it easy to send and receive data while your Bela code is running, very useful for machine learning pipelines, as well as for any data-driven experiments and real-time performance.

pybela encourages a different kind of AI practice. Instead of large black-boxed models trained on massive datasets, it supports a more experimental, embodied approach: working with small, custom datasets and creatively engaging with the constraints of embedded hardware. This plays to Bela's strengths of design for low-latency and real-time interaction.

🎶 Hacking Timbre! 🎶

Earlier this year, we teamed up with the Communication Acoustics Lab at Queen Mary University of London to host the Timbre Tools Hackathon – a weekend dedicated to reimagining the possibilities of sound and instrument design. With creative coders, researchers, and instrument makers, this event pushed the boundaries of digital music instrument design by focusing on the nuances of timbre. From live video-driven sound manipulation to portable timbre exploration apps, these projects truly explored this complex and often hard-to-define aspect of sound.

Dive into the highlights from the hackathon on our blog – link in bio!

Zuhura & Party: Taarab Ya Pwani

Our first compilation is out on @bandcamp, perhaps just in time for your evening listening pleasure. Head over to pwanitapes.bandcamp.com and find Taarab Ya Pwani (Swahili for “Coastal Taarab”) which features nine tracks by the mighty Zuhura Swaleh and her band. This music was recorded from the early 1970s onwards at the now defunct Mbwana Radio studio in Mombasa-Kibokoni, Kenya. Zuhura & Party created a gigantic legacy on tape. Their unique sound is characterised by Zuhura’s out-there vocal techniques, the tashkota (the Swahili name for a Japanese harp), drums and poetic Swahili lyrics.

Enjoy, and spread the word — also about this being digital recordings of old tape songs.
