Slim Essid on Analysing Audio and EEG data with Nonnegative Matrix Factorisation
Date:Fri, 09/30/2016 - 10:30am - 12:00pmLocation:CCRMA Seminar RoomEvent Type:Hearing SeminarWe are starting to think about audio and EEG signals as combinations of sources. This has been true of both images and audio for a while, and an important breakthrough in these types of analysis is the realization that the sources must be strictly positive. Algorithms such as PCA and the FFT divvy up the energy in a signal using both positive and negative components. Non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) creates an alternative explanation of the data where all the factors are strictly positive, since objects can only contribute positive energy to the overall signal.
Slim Essid will be at CCRMA to talk about using NMF to analyze audio signals for auditory scene analysis, and to decompose EEG signals into their independent sources. Both important tasks.FREEOpen to the PublicCCRMA Transitions 2016

Date:Thu, 10/13/2016 - 7:30pm - 9:00pmLocation:CCRMA StageEvent Type:ConcertGroundbreaking composer, performer, technologist, and sound installation artist Laetitia Sonami presents an evening of performances developed by her and in collaboration with Eliane Radigue and Paul DeMarinis. For more information please see sonami.net
Bio:
Sonami’s sound installations combine audio and kinetic elements embedded in ubiquitous objects such as light bulbs, rubber gloves, bags and more recently toilet plungers. She collects electrical wire and embroids them in walls.FREEOpen to the PublicTania Chen, Thomas Dimuzio, and Wobbly

Bios:FREEOpen to the PublicCeleste Oram and Andrew C. Smith
Date:Fri, 10/28/2016 - 7:30pm - 9:00pmLocation:CCRMA StageEvent Type:ConcertCeleste Oram is joined by violinists Keir GoGwilt and (remotely, from New Zealand) Alex Taylor in performing the works of Vera Wyse Munro (1897-1966): a pioneering New Zealand radio ham, improviser, and sonic/electronic experimenter. The telematic duet will be joined in person by layers of archival text and recordings of ham radio logs and activity, from both New Zealand and Santa Cruz. The performance will be broadcast over low-power radio transmitters on many different channels, and audience members are invited to come prepared with battery-powered radios to tune in to the performance live in the space.
