TECHNIQUES OF DIGITAL AUDIO PROCESSING: June 18-29 WORKSHOP IN COMPUTER MUSIC COMPOSITION: July 2-27 For the 7th year, the MIT Experimental Music Studio offers intensive summer workshops in digital audio processing and in computer music composition. TECHNIQUES OF DIGITAL AUDIO PROCESSING offers a solid grounding in digital audio methods and also covers a wide range of related topics, including reverberation, simulated ambience, speech synthesis, cognitive processes, real-time synthesis and performance systems, psychoacoustics, and digital/analog conversion. The course is an intensive combination of lectures, tutoring and hands-on computer experience. Guest lecturers include Barry Blesser (Audio Engineering Society), Bernard Gordon (Analogic Corporation), Max Mathews (Bell Laboratories), and John R. Pierce (Stanford, and formerly Bell Labs). WORKSHOP IN COMPUTER MUSIC COMPOSITION participants will be able to apply sound synthesis and processing techniques toward composing music using the MIT Studio's computer music systems. Individual coaching and 24-hour Studio access will give each composer the opportunity to compose and realize a new computer music work for performance in public concert at MIT on July 27. No advance technical knowledge is required for these workshops; enrollments limited.
