Born to Engineer – Andrew Robertson

Andrew Robertson is a Computer Engineer working at Queen Mary, University of London on music signal processing.

He’s engineered a software package that allows bands to liberate themselves from the tyranny of a click track in live performances, setting them free to drive the tempo of their music to the response of the crowd and still keep their layered backing tracks in time with the beat.


‘Born to Engineer – Andrew Robertson’ is part of the “Born to Engineer” series of films produced for the ERA Foundation by Duck Rabbit as part of a campaign to attract young people into engineering education and careers.

These videos have been produced by creative video producers duckrabbit, under the sponsorship of the ERA Foundation, the Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851, and the Institution of Engineering and Technology.
