UnStumm: Conversation of Moving Image and Sound | Arts Intensive
Date:
Sat, 09/16/2023 - 7:30pm - 9:00pm
Location:
CCRMA Stage / CCRMA LIVE
Event Type:
Concert 
The Stanford Arts Intensive program and CCRMA present UnStumm as part of the Audiovisual Performance class.
UnStumm – conversation of moving image and sound is a project for real-time film and music (Echtzeitfilm) for cross-disciplinary and cross cultural collaboration between video artists and musicians from Germany and other countries. It aims to create an environment of cultural and creative exchange, where a common complex artistic language is invented and used to communicate narratives, and textures, colliding, combining, and attracting worlds of sight and sound. Since 2016 UnStumm has performed in 12 countries worldwide. Collaborations have taken place with more than 65 live video artists, musicians, and dancers. In their performance, UnStumm will combine an in-situ performance with their Augmented Voyage app, making it a mixed reality performance. The audience will experience this performance in space, while using the app at the same time to follow UnStumm's movements between different layers of projection and reality.

[CANCELLED!] TEMPO VS. PITCH: UNDERSTANDING SELF-SUPERVISED TEMPO ESTIMATION
Date:
Fri, 08/25/2023 - 11:00am - 12:00pm
Location:
Classroom
Event Type:
Guest Lecture 
Giovana Morais (NYU) joins us to talk about her recent ICASSP paper. ABSTRACT: Self-supervision methods learn representations by solving pretext tasks that do not require human-generated labels, alleviating the need for time-consuming annotations. These methods have been applied in computer vision, natural language processing, environ- mental sound analysis, and recently in music information retrieval, e.g. for pitch estimation. Particularly in the context of music, there are few insights about the fragility of these models regarding differ- ent distributions of data, and how they could be mitigated. In this paper, we explore these questions by dissecting a self-supervised model for pitch estimation adapted for tempo estimation via rigor- ous experimentation with synthetic data.
