The Music Technology Program Open House of New York University's Steinhardt School showcased the latest work by our students. The event consisted of posters, performances and interactive demonstrations spanning a multitude of music and audio related topics.
The computer-based mapping of musical information to intuitive visual representations has many applications to the composition, analysis, education and performance of music, to name a few examples. This workshop will feature talks and demonstrations highlighting some of the most recent advances in the field, and will provide a space for discussing the methodological, artistic and scientific implications of this line of work.
The Music Technology Program at New York University (NYU) is pleased to announce the opening of its new Ph.D. program in Music Technology, to start in the Fall of 2008. The doctoral program and its curriculum are the results of collaboration between NYU's Departments of Music and Performing Arts Professions in the Steinhardt School, and Computer Science and Mathematics in the Courant Institute.
The International Conference on Music Information Retrieval (still referred to by its historical acronym, ISMIR) is the first established international forum for research on the organization of music-related data. Given the tremendous growth of digital music and music metadata in recent years, methods for effectively extracting, searching, and organizing music information have received widespread interest from academia and the information and entertainment industries.
The purpose of ISMIR is to provide a venue for the exchange of news, ideas, and results through the presentation of original theoretical or practical work. By bringing together researchers and developers, educators and librarians, students and professional users, all working in fields that contribute to this multidisciplinary domain, the conference also serves as a discussion forum, provides introductory and in-depth information on specific domains, and showcases current products.
