Keith McMillen has been working his entire adult life on one single problem – how to play live interactive music in an ensemble using extended instruments moderated by computer intelligence. This goal has required him to create dozens of new instruments, patented technologies and multiple successful companies in order to advance the technology sufficiently to reach his musical objectives. Keith began his audio career in 1979, when he founded Zeta Music. The company's revolutionary electronic instrument designs created a new market in the music industry, and the brand “Zeta” is synonymous with the modern violin. Later, as Vice President of R&D at Gibson Guitars, Keith worked with UC Berkeley’s CNMAT and created a new technology group focusing on audio networking, synthesizers and string instruments. As Director of Engineering at Harman Kardon, he formed an innovative new software product division dealing with audio processing and distributed networks. Keith founded Octiv in 1999 to solve major issues with live audio and led the company as both technologist and business guru raising over $20M from VCs such as 3i and Intel Capital. In April of 2005, Keith successfully sold Octiv to Plantronics (NYSE:PLT) and is personally funding the current operations of the BEAM Foundation. Keith received his BS in Acoustics under James Beauchamp from the University of Illinois where he also trained in classical guitar and studied composition with Herbert Brun, Scott Wyatt, and Sal Martirano. Keith has spent 25 years developing MACIAS – an integrated composition performance system that is the foundation of TrioMetrik’s music. He now works full time at composing, creating and performing while pursuing his original goal of a next generation music he has termed NuRoque and a method for creating a persistent performance score for modern music called MAPPS.

Recent work in performance analysis being done at the Centre for the History and Analysis of Recorded Music (CHARM) at Royal Holloway, University of London will be presented.  Performance features, such as note timings and loudness are extracted from audio files from various performances of the same work.  These musical features are then compared between performers

in isolation, in combination, and in subcomponents to get a feeling for where a performer might be getting their inspiration.
+
One pianist was found to have gotten her inspiration in an unusual way:

Abstract:

= Past - Autumn Quarter (2021)=
In the book "Atlas" one can see the original photographs Gerhard Richter collected as  inspiration and source material for his photo-paintings.  In my CCRMA colloquium, I'd like to make a similar attempt to reveal my creative sources and the artistic strategy I have developed to make these sources the foundation of my music.  I will present the early stages of my creative process that provide a basic thread and musical themes for  Redwoods Symphony (Kiev Philharmonic), Radiant Peaks (Coeur d'Alene Symphony), Reciprocal Refractions (Spokane Symphony), and Dreaming Among Thermal Pools and Concentric 
+
Spirals (Paradox duo).  Each process begins with the algorithmic transformation (or translation) of  things I care about: redwood 
+
trees, bull trout, spirals, topographical maps... things that serve as a creative launching point.  Algorithmic examples will be presented from http://musicalgorithms.ewu.edu/, the user-friendly freeware I designed in 2004-05.

Title: "calm like a bomb" - Jesper Nordin
+
*'''10/20 - CCRMA Town Hall'''
  
Abstract:
+
*'''10/27 ''' BREAK
Jesper Nordin's music is largly influenced by his background in rock music and the traditional Swedish folk music. These influences are always present in his music, be it orchestral pieces or works with live electronics. His focus on the audible aspect in composition has  made the computer his foremost tool in composing. Usually he builds up very detailed sketches/maquettes with recorded and treated sounds that he then transcribes. The use of improvisation during composing is also important and can include everything from himself singing to letting different programs treat his material in controlled or random ways. Lately he has also started to incorporate different control surfaces to be able to improvise but still keep control over musical materials and techniques. His piece "calm like a bomb" for violin and electronics will be performed by Greame Jennings of the SFCMP on November 19th at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Forum.

*'''11/03 ''' Social Event (TBD)
The music of Jesper Nordin, with its clear traces of traditional Swedish folk music, rock music and improvised music, is played throughout the world by major soloists, ensembles and symphony orchestras.  His international break-through came in 2000 with the piece “calm like a bomb” that is regularly performed by ensembles like ASKO, l’Itineraire and San Francisco Contemporary Music Players.  He has been awarded prizes in many composition competitions in Europ and North America, for instance at UNESCO’s Rostrum of Composers.  His music is broadcast around the world and has been played at festivals such as ISCM, Gaudeamus, ICMC and Resonances.  After studies  at the Royal College in Stockholm, Stanford University and at IRCAM in Paris he was appointed Composer in Residence at the National Swedish Radio 2004-2006.  In 2006 the Swedish Radio Released the portraid CD “Residues” that include some of his major orchestral works.  For more info see www.jespernordin.com

ABSTRACT & BIO:
 +
Mona is an enthusiastic musician, whose focus and passion has been to
 +
share the joy of music with others. In 2018, a successful outcome of
 +
her innovative music program designed for senior citizens was the
 +
turning point for her to decide to change the course of learning piano
 +
in a less complex route. Her engineering background helped her to
 +
start working on the idea that bridges the gap between music and
 +
technology.
  
 +
The approach to fingering in music has always been and still is one of
 +
the major elements of success for keyboard players. Correct fingering
 +
assists the performer in delivering a better technical and musical
 +
performance. This research presents the best technique to generate
 +
fingering for any sequence of music notes. Dynamic programming and
 +
mathematics are major parts of this paper, they work alongside rules
 +
set by pianists to calculate the most practical fingerings for any
 +
musical passage.
  
 +
The ultimate goal is to facilitate the process of playing the piano
 +
using an AR platform. This is helpful for scaling music instructors
 +
and allows for efficient teaching. Through solving this problem,
 +
virtual instructions would be more productive and impactful. Success
 +
of this research applied in the AR field can be applied to robotic
 +
tasks in educational programs, video games, and medical fields.

'''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_current Current]''' describes the quantity of electrons passing through a point in a circuit at a given instant in time.
+
Current is measured in '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ampere Amperes]''' ('''Amps''', '''A''').
+
 
+
'''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage Voltage]''' describes the potential difference in electrical charge between two points in an electrical circuit. '''Voltage''' (also known as '''Electro motive force''' or '''EMF''') is measures in '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volt Volts]'''.
+
 
+
'''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_resistance Resistance]''' (a special case of '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_impedance Impedance]''') describes the capacity of a circuit element to resist or impede the flow of electrons in the circuit. '''Resistance''' in measure in '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohm_%28unit%29 Ohms]'''.
+
 
+
A common analogy may be used to relate these three quantities to water flow in pipes in place of electrons in wires. Current is analogous to the quantity of water flowing through a pipe at a given moment in time. Imagine you have two water tanks connected from the bottoms by a pipe (such as the drain of a double sink). If one tank is full of water and the other one empty we know intuitively that the water in the full tank will flow through the pipe into the empty tank until the level of water in the two tanks is equalized. The water in the full tank near the drain pipe is under pressure caused by gravity acting on the water above it in the tank. The difference in pressure between the water at the bottom of the full tank and the bottom of the empty (or only slightly full tank) is analogous to the voltage between poles of a battery (recall that voltage is always measured with respect to two distinct point in a circuit). In the case of a battery there is an excess of electrons present at the negative pole which are attracted to the electron holes at the positive pole with a potential or voltage determined by the chemical and physical properties of the battery.
+
 
+
Q: would the voltage change if we increased the amount of water in the full tank? yes - more water means more gravity acting on the water which results in greater pressure at the bottom of the tank.
+
 
+
Q: What happens if we open the pipe between the two tanks and let water flow? It flows from the full tank to the empty one until the level is the same in both. The same happens if you short the leads of a battery together without a resistor in between.
+
 
+
So what governs the time taken to equalize the level in the two tanks? The diameter of the pipe. The larger the pipe the less resistance there is to the water flow (or current) and the faster the levels equalize. Placing a resistor in an electric circuit has the same effect as placing a constriction in a water pipe. The amount of flow (or current) is not fixed, but given the same water pressure (or Voltage) the smaller the constriction the less flow occurs. Increasing the water pressure can counteract the reduction in flow. You can think of a battery as a pair of tanks, one full extra electrons and one empty to which extra electrons are attracted. (does adding constrictions hold in water as for electricity?) .... '''Ohm's Law''' ...
+
 
+
==Ohm's Law==
+
 
+
'''V = IR'''  Ohm's Law states that '''Voltage''' = '''Current''' x '''Resistance''' or '''V = IR'''. The equation can be rearranged to find any one of the three quantities given the other two.
+
 
+
Consider the following circuit:
+
 
+
<center>
+
[[Image:Ohms_law_1.png]]
+
</center>
+
 
+
The voltage in the circuit is given (10V from the battery) and the resistance is also given as the 100 ohm resistor is the only resistive element in the circuit. So we can compute the current in the circuit as: I = V/R = 10V / 100 Ohms = 0.1 Amps or 100 milli-Amps.
+
 
+
==Button LED Example==
+
 
+
The following circuit diagram show the most basic LED (Light Emitting Diode) circuit:
+
 
+
<center>
+
[[Image:led.png]]
+
</center>
+
 
+
Diodes are from the family of semiconductors. Unlike a resistors, diodes always have a fixed voltage drop in a circuit. A diode passes current in only one direction, a very useful property for protecting circuits from incorrect current flow. The arrow in the diode symbol points in the direction that current flows, so normally you would place a diode in your circuit with the arrow pointing to a ground.  Therefore once we know the current passing through the resistor in this circuit we also know the current passing through the LED. The brightness of an LED is proportional to the amount of current passing through it. How would you make the LED shine brighter? less brightly?
+
 
+
Now consider the following circuit which adds a button:
+
 
+
<center>
+
[[Image:button_led.png]]
+
</center>
+
 
+
The button simply interrupts or re-connects the flow of current through the circuit lighting or extinguishing the LED in the process.

Revision as of 12:00, 5 December 2022

Wednesday 5:30pm PT (CCRMA Classroom & Zoom)

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 fields of Computer Music, Audio Signal Processing and Music Information Retrieval, Psychoacoustics, and related fields. The colloquium traditionally happens every Wednesday during the academic year from 5:30 – 7:00pm and meets in the CCRMA Classroom, Knoll 217, often also with a Zoom presence.
