About

Daniel Overholt is a leading researcher in the field of new interfaces for musical expression, with a focus on actuated musical instruments and human-computer interaction. His work bridges the physical and virtual realms, creating instruments that blur traditional boundaries through innovative actuation technologies. Overholt co-edited the landmark *Proceedings of the International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression* (2011), a foundational resource that has garnered over 440 citations and shaped the discourse on digital instrument design. His paper "Advancements in Actuated Musical Instruments" (2011, 44 citations) introduces an ecosystemic model of performance, where physical and digital elements interact dynamically, expanding the expressive possibilities for musicians. Overholt’s contributions have advanced the development of tangible, responsive musical interfaces, influencing both artistic practice and engineering. His work is widely recognized for pushing the boundaries of how performers engage with technology, making him a key figure in the evolution of interactive music systems.
