CCRMA Concerts

Concerts at CCRMA feature new and recent computer music by students, faculty, staff, and alumni. Our Concert Series also hosts regular performance by local and visiting artists working with computers, electronics, modular synthesizers, visuals, etc.

Concerts are announced via our MAILING LIST.

Past concerts can be accessed on our Vimeo archive of live streamed events.

 

Colloquium series

A weekly meeting of CCRMA faculty, graduate students, and visitors to share recent research and composition work.

 

MUS423 Research Seminars

Presentations of research in progress by faculty, graduate students, and visiting scholars.  See the Music 423 Home Page for more information.

 

Hearing seminars

CCRMA hosts a weekly Hearing seminar. All areas related to perception are discussed, but the group emphasizes topics that will help us understand how the auditory system works. Speakers are drawn from the group and visitors to the Stanford area. Most attendees are graduate students, faculty, or local researchers interested in psychology, music, engineering, neurophysiology, and linguistics. 

Meetings are usually from 1:15 to 2:30PM (or so, depending on questions) on Friday afternoons in the CCRMA seminar room. The current schedule is announced via a mailing list which is archived. To be added to the mailing list send email to hearing-seminar-request@ccrma.stanford.edu.

Colloquium Series

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 field of Computer Music.  The colloquium typically happens every Wednesday during the school year from 5:30 - 7:00pm and meets in the CCRMA Classroom, Knoll 217 unless otherwise noted. 

The schedule for this year's CCRMA Colloquium can be found here:  ccrma.stanford.edu/wiki/Colloquium

Colloquia and concerts are announced via a mailing list.
 

MUS423 Research Seminars

The CCRMA Music 423 Research Seminar brings graduate students and supervising faculty together for planning and discussion of original research. Students and faculty meet either in small groups or individually, as appropriate for the research topics and interests of the participants. Research carried out is typically presented at the weekly CCRMA Colloquium (if it is of general interest to the CCRMA community) or at a Special DSP Seminar scheduled for that purpose.  In either case, announcements appear on the CCRMA Home Page as Upcoming Events.

Hearing Seminars

CCRMA hosts a weekly Hearing seminar (aka Music 319). All areas related to perception are discussed, but the group emphasizes topics that will help us understand how the auditory system works. Speakers are drawn from the group and visitors to the Stanford area. Most attendees are graduate students, faculty, or local researchers interested in psychology, music, engineering, neurophysiology, and linguistics. Stanford students can (optionally) receive credit to attend, by enrolling in Music 319 "Research Seminar on Computational Models of Sound Perception."  Meetings are usually from 10:30AM to 12:20 (or so, depending on questions) on Friday mornings in the CCRMA Seminar Room.

The current schedule is announced via a mailing list. To subscribe yourself to the mailing list, please visit https://cm-mail.stanford.edu/mailman/listinfo/hearing-seminar If you have any questions, please contact Malcolm Slaney at hearing-seminar-admin@ccrma.stanford.edu.

Guest Lectures

Occasionally, courses offered at CCRMA will bring in a guest lecturer.  Often times, those lectures are open, not only to CCRMA students, staff, faculty and researchers, but also to the public.  Such events are listed below.

Music 251

Course Title: 
Psychophysics and Music Cognition
Instructor: 
Course Description: 

This course aims to introduce students to basic concepts and fundamentals of the fields of auditory perception, as well as music perception and cognition through lectures, readings, lab exercises, and class discussion. The discussed topics include pitch/harmony/timbre perception, sound localization, and emotion, as well as related topics in auditory perception, such as loudness, masking, stream segregation, and the basics of the auditory system. The primary emphasis is placed upon experiencing all the processes of discovery-oriented human behavioural research and core issues in methodology as well as scientific discourse with colleagues. Thus, active preparation and participation in lab exercises and in-class discussion is essential. In the final project, students will come up with their own inquiry, design and execute the experiment, share and discuss the results and interpretation, and write the report.
