Her passion for collaboration and experimentation has led her to work with a number of both emerging and established composers, including Steve Reich, Chaya Czernowin, Marcos Balter, Sabrina Schroeder, Ashley Fure, and Marek Poliks, among others. Her premiere solo album, Dialogue, featuring commissions by David Bird, Danny Clay, Adam Hirsch, Kurt Isaacson and Haley Shaw, was released in early 2017 on Ephemeral Stream Recordings.

Hotword Sifter - Make Google Home hear you in cocktail parties

Date: 
Fri, 03/16/2018 - 10:30am - 12:00pm
Location: 
CCRMA Seminar Room
Event Type: 
Hearing Seminar
It's the last unsolved problem in speech recognition.  :-)  How does one use minimal resources to recognize hotwords like "Hey Google" or "Alexa", in the face of noisy 24x7 environments. These keywords (or hotwords) are the signal to turn on full speech recognition on the new generation of always listening devices, and the hotword must be recognized accurately, and in multiple acoustic environments. Recognizing these keywords must be done on the device, as nobody wants all their speech transmitted to the cloud.

Open to the Public

Hearing Sound with Auditory Hair Bundles

Date: 
Fri, 03/09/2018 - 10:30am - 12:00pm
Location: 
CCRMA Seminar Room
Event Type: 
Hearing Seminar
How is all that beautiful music converted from acoustic waves into spikes?  The key biological component are some very sensitive cilia, hair-like structures, that sit at the end of auditory nerve cells. They move in response to passing waves, and that unleases spikes the head toward the auditory brain.  It really is quite magical. 

Who: Wisam Reid (Stanford)
What: Relating the Cohesiveness of Auditory Hair Bundles in Mammals to their Function
When: Friday March 9th at 10:30AM
Where: CCRMA Seminar Room (Top Floor of the Knoll)
Why: These are really quite amazing structures.

Bring your cilia to CCRMA and Wisam will talk about how they do their important job.

Open to the Public

Mystery of 101-year-old master pianist who has dementia

Way to go, Dr. Selfridge-Field! Very interesting article about her work with master musicians suffering from dementia.

From the article: At first glance, she was elderly and delicate – a woman in her 90s with a declining memory. But then she sat down at the piano to play. “Everybody in the room was totally startled,” says Eleanor Selfridge-Field, who researches music and symbols at Stanford University. “She looked so frail. Once she sat down at the piano, she just wasn’t frail at all. She was full of verve.” Read more here...

Congratulations Guggenheim Fellows Jonathan Berger and Ge Wang!

 

Jonathan Berger's "My Lai" In the News

All kinds of new buzz in being generated by our own Jonathan Berger's latest opera My Lai. Congratulations, Jonathan and the Kronos Quartet!

"In My Lai, a monodrama for tenor, string quartet, and Vietnamese instruments, composer Jonathan Berger had countless tragic elements at his disposal... In this immersive performance, we had the sense that, rather than defaulting to the story's obvious tragic details, Berger illuminate a single, more subtle element - the outraged bewilderment we often feel in the face of unimaginable horror."
