"The MTG is an interdisciplinary research lab that was created about ten years ago by its current director Xavier Serra, where more than fifty engineers, musicologists, mathematicians, musicians, luthiers, digital artists, and PhD students share their skills and enthusiasm to create new technologies and gadgets for the music interaction. Some of the most exciting MTG projects are based on technologies now endorsed at BMAT."
