Some of his compositions, such as the string quartet “Tran(slate)” which won the 2008 Staubach Preis in Darmstadt and premiered by the Arditti Quartet, include live electronics. His “Vocalise 2,” for two vocalizing amplified saxophonists, was performed in Paris in February 2016 as well as “Fringes,” a large-scale work for 22 instrumentalists.

Hearables Will Monitor Your Brain and Body to Augment Your Life, by Poppy Crum
Poppy Crum recently published a fascinating article in IEEE's magazine Spectrum on the potential future of wearables/hearables.

Quote from the article:
ARTFUL DESIGN — A new (comic) book by Ge Wang!
What is the nature of design, and the meaning it holds in human life? What does it mean to design well -- to design ethically? How can the shaping of technology reflect our values as human beings? These are the questions addressed in Ge Wang's new book, ARTFUL DESIGN (check it out: https://artful.design/).
Technology that Knows What You're Feeling: TED2018 Talk Featuring Dr. Poppy Crum
Very interesting talk by Poppy Crum:
What happens when technology knows more about us than we do? Poppy Crum studies how we express emotions -- and she suggests the end of the poker face is near, as new tech makes it easy to see the signals that give away how we're feeling. In a talk and demo, she shows how "empathetic technology" can read physical signals like body temperature and the chemical composition of our breath to inform on our emotional state. For better or for worse. "If we recognize the power of becoming technological empaths, we get this opportunity where technology can help us bridge the emotional and cognitive divide," Crum says.
