Dr. Michael Schutz is currently Associate Professor of Music Cognition/Percussion at McMaster University. He is the founding director of the MAPLE Lab and a core member of the McMaster Institute for Music and the Mind. Chatting with him about his gestural research was enlightening and thought-provoking. He currently chairs the PAS Music Technology committee and has performed at PASIC several times.
