Jin Woo Lee on "Differentiable Physical Modeling for Sound Synthesis: From Design to Inverse Problems"
Abstract:
Audiovisual Performance | Final Projects | Arts Intensive 2024
In the span of 2.5 weeks, students in this audiovisual performance class worked intensely on several projects. They explored relationships between sound and moving image, programming and physical interaction with audio and video material, remixing audiovisual compositions, and performing with their digital doppelgängers. We are very excited to present their final projects in this live audiovisual concert.

Haunting Sounds at an Ancient Peruvian Site
February 16th, 2012, Dan Ferber, Science Now
... Chavín de Huantar is particularly well suited to the study of ancient uses of sound, says Miriam Kolar, an archeoacoustics researcher at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California. That’s because the interior architecture contains elaborate, multilevel mazes with long corridors and staircases that affect acoustics today and are well enough preserved to detect what the original residents must have heard...Chris Chafe and "The Sounds of Science" - Stanford Magazine
The Sounds of Science
January/February 2012, Roberta Kwok, Stanford Magazine
Composer Chris Chafe gives new meaning to synthesizing data.
At first, the music playing on Chris Chafe's laptop sounds like wind blowing through an old window frame. Then it becomes more frantic, reaching higher and higher pitches, with syncopated pops punctuating the wailing. The anxious chattering sounds almost human, like a sped-up movie reel. Suddenly, it slips into a deadened hum...Max Mathews - Friend, Colleague and Inspiration - Passed Away on April 21st.

Article about "A Very Fractal Cat" published in eContact
"A Very Fractal Cat
Of Cats, performers, composers and programmers"
by Fernando Lopez-Lezcano
"This article describes the evolution of a series of pieces for a classically trained pianist, a weighted keys piano controller, several pedals and a computer running a custom SuperCollider program and open source software. It describes the evolution (and the motivation for the evolution) of different versions of the piece through time, rather than focusing on the technical underpinnings of the environment used."
