Upcoming Events
Purnima Kamath on Generative Models for Sound Design
![](https://ccrma.stanford.edu/sites/default/files/imagecache/thumbnail/user/malcolm/purnima-kamath.jpg)
Sound design involves creatively using sounds to build cinematic experiences for films and games. While most AI models support novel sound generation, they need to be trained on large, semantically well-labeled datasets and often lack support for creative pursuits such as audio morphing.

Leslie Famularo on Differentiating and Optimizing an Auditory Model
![](https://ccrma.stanford.edu/sites/default/files/imagecache/thumbnail/user/malcolm/leslie_famularo_headshot_09-11-23.jpg)
New software paradigms such as JAX and PyTorch allow one to specify arbitrary computations in a way that can be differentiated. And if we can differentiate a function we can optimize it. Hurray. How can we express an auditory model in a differentiable fashion?

Emerging Talents: Michael Wilson
August 29th, 2012, Gina Collecchia, Keyboard Magazine
What’s on in the mind of someone with years of experience on the keyboard and a computer science degree from CalTech under his belt? Musical software, of course! We had the opportunity to sit down with Michael Wilson, a graduate student at Stanford University’s Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA) and learn about his creative process...

Mansion of Music
May 1st, 2012, Raymond Luong, The Stanford Daily
It has been described by Stanford students as everything from a Spanish mansion to a Gothic fortress and even a haunted castle, but these misconceptions strike far from the truth. Perched on top of a hill behind Florence Moore Hall, this mysterious Stanford landmark is none other than the Knoll, currently home to Stanford’s Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA, pronounced “karma”).
