Colloquium Series

The CCRMA Colloquium is a weekly gathering of CCRMA students, faculty, staff, and guests. It is an opportunity for members of the CCRMA community and invited speakers to share the work that they are doing in the field of Computer Music.  The colloquium typically happens every Wednesday during the school year from 5:30 - 7:00pm and meets in the CCRMA Classroom, Knoll 217 unless otherwise noted. 

The schedule for this year's CCRMA Colloquium can be found here:  ccrma.stanford.edu/wiki/Colloquium

Colloquia and concerts are announced via a mailing list.

  • Colloquium: Jonathan Abel and Matt Wright

    Date: 
    Wed, 10/21/2015 - 5:30pm - 7:00pm
    Location: 
    CCRMA Classroom (Room 217)
    Event Type: 
    Colloquium

    Jonathan Abel - Mr. Cable's messed up reverberators, the Spherlioni family business and other topics
    Abstract: This talk describes some recent room acoustics and signal processing work that's got my interest and time.  On that list are a couple CCRMA-related projects, including Icons of Sound, which aims to recreate the experience of Byzantine chant in Hagia Sophia nearly 1,500 years after the fact, and which inspired the Spherlionis to build a 3D-printed spherical microphone array.  In the category of unusual local acoustic spaces in need of time-frequency analysis and physical modeling, there's F# Alley (across from Antonio's Nut House, and well worth the price of admission---bring an opera singer); and under the heading of "different" audio effects, there is the modal reverberator---thank you Mr. Cable---which integrates pitch shifting and distortion into a synthetic reverberator architecture.  Finally on the list are signal processing analyses of Alvin Lucier's "I am sitting in a room" and Carl Stone's "Sukothai," both of which explore the sonics of iteratively applied audio processes.


    Matt Wright - Part 2 of Matt's abridged entire career, focusing on issues of rhythm
    Abstract: Matt presents shifty looping, machine learning of micro timing, a clave-centric beat tracker specifically for Afro-Cuban music, bar wrapping visualization of micro timing in metric musical contexts, my dissertation work with Perceptual Attack Time, and Afro-Brazilian percussion ensembles.

  • Colloquium: Tom Rossing and Jarek Kapuscinski

    Date: 
    Wed, 10/14/2015 - 5:30pm - 7:00pm
    Location: 
    CCRMA Classroom (Room 217)
    Event Type: 
    Colloquium
    Tom Rossing - A is for Acoustics
    Abstract:
    Acoustics is the Science of Sound.  Musical acoustics deals with the science and technology of musical sound.  The study of musical acoustics is important for performers, composers, researchers, instrument designers and builders, and serious listeners. 

    This talk will highlight some of the hot topics in musical acoustics, the courses in acoustics at CCRMA, publications in musical acoustics, and the services provided by the Acoustical Society of America.

  • On the road to massive-multichannel reverberation

    Date: 
    Tue, 10/06/2015 - 5:30pm - 7:00pm
    Location: 
    CCRMA Classroom [Knoll 217]
    Event Type: 
    Colloquium
    Abstract:
    Massive-multichannel sound presentation approaches like Wave Field Synthesis and Higher-Order Ambisonics offer significantly more degrees of freedom for designing the sound field to be synthesized than conventional approaches like Stereophony or Surround Sound. While a significant number of achievements regarding the presentation of the direct sound of virtual sound sources are available, the presentation of reverberation has always been a stepchild. This talk gives an overview over current work on all components of reverberation, i.e. early reflections, late reverberation, and room modes. The talk targets a general audience.

  • Application of Acoustics for Underwater ROVs

    Date: 
    Wed, 04/29/2015 - 5:15pm - 7:00pm
    Location: 
    CCRMA Classroom
    Event Type: 
    Colloquium

    Signaling and navigating in the underwater world presents challenges for traditional approaches such as radio waves and light. Both are readily absorbed in water. Light also tends to scatter and reflect over short distances. Sound waves are much more adaptable to use in this world. While they also present challenges – especially absorption and reflection – they can be used effectively over much greater distances in the order of kilometers.

  • Luke Dahl PhD Thesis Defense: Timing of Discrete Musical Air-Gestures

    Date: 
    Tue, 11/18/2014 - 3:15pm - 4:15pm
    Location: 
    CCRMA Stage
    Event Type: 
    Colloquium

    Motion sensing technologies enable musical interfaces where a performer controls sound by moving their body ``in the air" without manipulating or contacting a physical object. These interfaces work well when the movement and sound are smooth and continuous, but it has proven difficult to design a system which triggers discrete sounds with precision that feels natural to the performer and allows for complex rhythmic performance.
