Georgia Tech Center For Music Technology
The Georgia Tech Center for Music Technology (GTCMT) is an interdisciplinary research center housed at Georgia Institute of Technology College of Design. The Center, founded in November 2008, by Gil Weinberg focuses on research and development of new musical technologies for music creation, performance and consumption. GTCMT's mission is to provide a collaborative framework for committed students, faculty, and researchers to apply their musical, technological, and scientific creativity to the development of innovative artistic and technological artifacts. Research Research in the center focuses on innovative musical technologies that transform the way in which music is created, performed and consumed. Research groups include Robotic Musicianship, Distributed, Music Informatics, Mobile Music and Sonification Sonification is the use of non-speech audio to convey information or perceptualize data. Auditory perception has advantages in temporal, spatial, amplitude, and frequency r ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Gil Weinberg
Gil Weinberg (born 1967) is an Israeli-born American musician and inventor of experimental musical instruments and musical robots. Weinberg is a professor of musical technology at Georgia Tech and founding director of the Georgia Tech Center for Music Technology. Biography Gil Weinberg was born in Jerusalem and began to study the piano at the age of seven. His teachers were disciplinarians who insisted on proper posture and hand position, emphasizing technique and theory at the expense of creativity. When he began composing his own music, they claimed he had no right to do so before mastering the fundamentals. His rebellion against this approach led to much of what he does today. "I'm trying to get children to be creative and expressive long before they have technique and theory," Weinberg says. "They can express themselves by pushing, pulling and other motions. Music is something you can invent and improvise with. I'm sure that this is a much better way into this world than focusin ...

Georgia Institute Of Technology College Of Design
The College of Design at the Georgia Institute of Technology, established in 1908 as the Department of Architecture and also formerly called the College of Architecture, offered the first four-year course of study in architecture in the Southern United States. History The history of the College of Design spans over 100 years. The Department of Architecture was formed in 1908, and granted its first degree in 1911. It was renamed the School of Architecture after World War II, and elevated to a full-fledged College of Architecture in 1975. In 2016, it was renamed the College of Design in order to more accurately reflect the breadth of programs the College offers, and to reduce confusion between the ''College'' of Architecture and its component ''School'' of Architecture. For most of the 20th century, the Architecture curriculum was mostly Harvard graduates (until 1975). In 1908, Georgia Tech (as the "Georgia School of Technology") formally began teaching architecture, when Presto ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sonification
Sonification is the use of non-speech audio to convey information or perceptualize data. Auditory perception has advantages in temporal, spatial, amplitude, and frequency resolution that open possibilities as an alternative or complement to visualization techniques. For example, the rate of clicking of a Geiger counter conveys the level of radiation in the immediate vicinity of the device. Though many experiments with data sonification have been explored in forums such as the International Community for Auditory Display (ICAD), sonification faces many challenges to widespread use for presenting and analyzing data. For example, studies show it is difficult, but essential, to provide adequate context for interpreting sonifications of data. Many sonification attempts are coded from scratch due to the lack of flexible tooling for sonification research and data exploration. History The Geiger counter, invented in 1908, is one of the earliest and most successful applications of sonific ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
