General information
The Stanford University Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA) is a multi-disciplinary facility where composers and researchers work together using computer-based technology both as an artistic medium and as a research tool.
Areas of ongoing interest at CCRMA include: composition, synthesis techniques and algorithms, physical modeling, signal processing, digital recording and editing, psychoacoustics and musical acoustics, real-time applications and controllers, collaborative works with other art disciplines, and music manuscripting by computer.
The CCRMA community consists of administrative and technical staff, faculty, research associates, graduate research assistants, graduate and undergraduate students, visiting composers, musicians and scholars, and industrial associates.
Center activities include academic courses, seminars, small interest group meetings, summer workshops and colloquia. Concerts of computer music are presented several times each year with an annual outdoor computer music festival in July. In-house technical reports and recordings are available, and public demonstrations of ongoing work at CCRMA are held periodically.
