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 doppelg&auml;ngers. We are very excited to present their final projects in this live audiovisual concert.</p></div><p><a href="https://ccrma.stanford.edu/events/audiovisual-performance-final-projects-arts-intensive-2024" target="_blank">read more</a></p> Tue, 17 Sep 2024 04:06:43 +0000 hest 6757 at https://ccrma.stanford.edu Purnima Kamath on Generative Models for Sound Design https://ccrma.stanford.edu/events/purnima-kamath-generative-models-sound-design <div class="field field-type-date field-field-event-date"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <div class="field-label-inline-first"> Date:&nbsp;</div> <span class="date-display-single">Fri, 09/13/2024 - <span class="date-display-start">10:30am</span><span class="date-display-separator"> - </span><span class="date-display-end">12:00pm</span></span> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-location"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <div class="field-label-inline-first"> Location:&nbsp;</div> CCRMA Seminar Room </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-event-type"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <div class="field-label-inline-first"> Event Type:&nbsp;</div> Hearing Seminar </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-filefield field-field-image"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <img class="imagefield imagefield-field_image" width="200" height="197" alt="" src="https://ccrma.stanford.edu/sites/default/files/user/malcolm/purnima-kamath.jpg?1723645106" /> </div> </div> </div> <div>Large language models (LLM) such as ChatGPT are making striking changes to how we think about words and intelligence. Generative models (<a href="https://developers.google.com/machine-learning/gan/generative" title="https://developers.google.com/machine-learning/gan/generative">https://developers.google.com/machine-learning/gan/generative</a>) take these ideas a step further by creating new data from a text prompt. Can an LLM and a generative model create new kinds of sounds? It is easy to imagine a system that lets you generate dog sounds, for example. But how would you build a system that lets you ask for a dog sound with a touch of wolf? With steerability or morphing the sound landscapes become much more interesting. Can we control a generative model to make both big and small changes to the sound we generate?<br /></div><div class="field field-type-text field-field-event-cost"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> FREE </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-intended-audience"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> Open to the Public </div> </div> </div> <p><a href="https://ccrma.stanford.edu/events/purnima-kamath-generative-models-sound-design" target="_blank">read more</a></p> Wed, 14 Aug 2024 04:53:37 +0000 malcolm 6753 at https://ccrma.stanford.edu Lobe Concert: Goodbye Sam & Nolan! https://ccrma.stanford.edu/events/lobe-concert-goodbye-sam-nolan <div class="field field-type-date field-field-event-date"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <div class="field-label-inline-first"> Date:&nbsp;</div> <span class="date-display-single">Sat, 08/31/2024 - <span class="date-display-start">7:30pm</span><span class="date-display-separator"> - </span><span class="date-display-end">9:00pm</span></span> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-location"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <div class="field-label-inline-first"> Location:&nbsp;</div> CCRMA Stage / <a href="https://ccrma.stanford.edu/live">CCRMA LIVE</a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-event-type"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <div class="field-label-inline-first"> Event Type:&nbsp;</div> Concert </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-filefield field-field-image"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <img class="imagefield imagefield-field_image" width="200" height="200" alt="" src="https://ccrma.stanford.edu/sites/default/files/user/cobasica/lobe_concert_poster.png?1724764569" /> </div> </div> </div> <div>Join Lobe for some groovy modern jazz originals (including the Beatles and Studio Ghibli... kind of?) as they say goodbye to Sam and Nolan!<br /> <br /> Lobe is&nbsp;Ethan Buck, Sam Silverstein, Nolan Miranda, Daiki Nakajima, Michael Hayes, and Mark Rau in spirit<br /> <br /> Tech: Sami Wurm<br /> <br /> FREE and Open to the Public &nbsp;| &nbsp;<a href="https://music.stanford.edu/venues-facilities/venues/ccrma-stage">In Person</a>&nbsp;+&nbsp;<a href="https://ccrma.stanford.edu/live">Livestream</a></div><p><a href="https://ccrma.stanford.edu/events/lobe-concert-goodbye-sam-nolan" target="_blank">read more</a></p> Tue, 27 Aug 2024 13:21:43 +0000 cobasica 6754 at https://ccrma.stanford.edu Demo of Personalized 3d Sound System https://ccrma.stanford.edu/events/demo-of-personalized-3d-sound-system <div class="field field-type-date field-field-event-date"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <div class="field-label-inline-first"> Date:&nbsp;</div> <span class="date-display-single">Fri, 08/16/2024 - <span class="date-display-start">12:00pm</span><span class="date-display-separator"> - </span><span class="date-display-end">6:00pm</span></span> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-location"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <div class="field-label-inline-first"> Location:&nbsp;</div> DoubleTree Hotel, 275 South Airport Blvd, South San Francisco, California </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-event-type"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <div class="field-label-inline-first"> Event Type:&nbsp;</div> Hearing Seminar </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-filefield field-field-image"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <img class="imagefield imagefield-field_image" width="174" height="200" alt="" src="https://ccrma.stanford.edu/sites/default/files/user/malcolm/brandenburg-facebook-e1523510796748_0.jpg?1723133324" /> </div> </div> </div> How do we reproduce personalized 3D sound? Karlheinz Brandenburg (one of the authors of the MP3 standard) argues that a generic HRTF (head-related transfer function) is sufficient as long as you simulate the room reverb.&nbsp; This is a rather bold statement, because the standard answer says that getting the correct HRTF is most important.&nbsp; Do we need to match the room or the pinnae? <div></div><div class="field field-type-text field-field-event-cost"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> FREE </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-intended-audience"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> Open to the Public </div> </div> </div> <p><a href="https://ccrma.stanford.edu/events/demo-of-personalized-3d-sound-system" target="_blank">read more</a></p> Thu, 08 Aug 2024 16:10:05 +0000 malcolm 6752 at https://ccrma.stanford.edu Leslie Famularo on Differentiating and Optimizing an Auditory Model https://ccrma.stanford.edu/events/leslie-famularo-differentiating-and-optimizing-auditory-model <div class="field field-type-date field-field-event-date"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <div class="field-label-inline-first"> Date:&nbsp;</div> <span class="date-display-single">Fri, 08/09/2024 - <span class="date-display-start">12:00am</span><span class="date-display-separator"> - </span><span class="date-display-end">12:00pm</span></span> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-location"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <div class="field-label-inline-first"> Location:&nbsp;</div> CCRMA Seminar Room </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-event-type"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <div class="field-label-inline-first"> Event Type:&nbsp;</div> Hearing Seminar </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-filefield field-field-image"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <img class="imagefield imagefield-field_image" width="133" height="200" alt="" src="https://ccrma.stanford.edu/sites/default/files/user/malcolm/leslie_famularo_headshot_09-11-23.jpg?1722831386" /> </div> </div> </div> <div>One of the shortcomings of current AI work is the inability to tie the results back to known physics. This is useful both to help explain the results, but also to constrain the optimal solution to known physical properties of the system. Neural networks are hard. They are big, often times the result is inscruttable. What can be done?<br /> <br /> New software paradigms such as JAX and PyTorch allow one to specify arbitrary computations in a way that can be differentiated. And if we can differentiate a function we can optimize it. Hurray. How can we express an auditory model in a differentiable fashion?<br /></div><div class="field field-type-text field-field-event-cost"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> FREE </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-intended-audience"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> Open to the Public </div> </div> </div> <p><a href="https://ccrma.stanford.edu/events/leslie-famularo-differentiating-and-optimizing-auditory-model" target="_blank">read more</a></p> Sat, 03 Aug 2024 22:52:36 +0000 malcolm 6750 at https://ccrma.stanford.edu 4D Audio-Visual Learning: A Visual Perspective of Sound Propagation and Production https://ccrma.stanford.edu/events/4d-audio-visual-learning-visual-perspective-of-sound-propagation-and-production <div class="field field-type-date field-field-event-date"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <div class="field-label-inline-first"> Date:&nbsp;</div> <span class="date-display-single">Thu, 08/01/2024 -
