What these approaches share is a common epistemology: synthesis as a programmatic act, governed by explicit parameters that encode human knowledge about the physics of sound production, the structure of musical instruments, or the perceptual properties of timbre. Control is legible, but the space of sounds reachable through parameter manipulation is ultimately bounded by the model's expressivity.<br /><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/alejandro-koretzky-neural-audio-resynthesis-towards-new-paradigm-in-audio-editing-and-creativ" target="_blank">read more</a></p>Thu, 21 May 2026 21:29:43 +0000soohyun7086 at https://ccrma.stanford.eduhttps://ccrma.stanford.edu/events/2026-saturday-night-slork <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, 06/06/2026 - <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> Bing Concert Hall </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="133" alt="" src="https://ccrma.stanford.edu/sites/default/files/user/matt/slork-bing-2023b.jpg?1778349657" /> </div> </div> </div> <p>The orchestra is plugged in, sound checked, and code debugged (mostly).

News at 10:30AM (on Friday).<br /> <br /> Wow!!!<br /> <br /> Seriously. <br /> <br /> Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a noninvasive, outpatient procedure that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate nerve cells in the brain to treat mental health conditions like major depression and OCD. It is primarily used when medications or therapy have not provided adequate relief.<br /> <br /> Why should magnets offer hope to people with depression? Why should magnetics do anything to the brain, given that the power used is a fraction of what is used for MRI? <br /><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/jessica-m-ross-transcranial-magnetic-stimulation" target="_blank">read more</a></p>Thu, 05 Mar 2026 16:01:01 +0000malcolm7029 at https://ccrma.stanford.eduhttps://ccrma.stanford.edu/events/audiovisual-performance-final-projects <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, 06/04/2026 -

It looks spectacular. But does everybody love the way it sounds? What kind of decisions are made when a hall like Bing is built, and how do they affect the sound? How do we make a concert hall sound special? <br /> <br /> I'm really happy that Scott Pfeiffer, an architectural acoustician, will be describing and demoing the characteristics of a concert hall that makes it sound great. What can an acoustic architect do to make all the participants in a concert happy? How do the shapes, materials and audiences combine to leave us smiling about the music, or confused about why we didn't hear the flute? Can we understand the vocalists? This is a talk and a discussion I've been wanting to have ever since Bing opened.<br /><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/scott-d-pfeiffer-bing-concert-hall-carnegie-hall-and-kennedy-center-hear-how-geometry-defines" target="_blank">read more</a></p>Thu, 05 Mar 2026 16:49:17 +0000malcolm7031 at https://ccrma.stanford.eduhttps://ccrma.stanford.edu/events/leila-abdul-rauf-architecture-of-shadow <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, 05/28/2026 - <span class="date-display-start">7:30pm</span><span class="date-display-separator"> - </span><span class="date-display-end">8:30pm</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> <a href="https://music.stanford.edu/venues-facilities/venues/ccrma-stage">CCRMA Stage</a> / <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="133" height="200" alt="" src="https://ccrma.stanford.edu/sites/default/files/user/cobasica/_mg_0069bw.jpg?1771836519" /> </div> </div> </div> <div>Leila Abdul-Rauf draws you into a cinematic sound world that explores the darkest corners of the psyche, conceptually delving into the deep vastness of the psyche of woman: wild, ugly, vulnerable, and powerful.

It&rsquo;s immersive, helping us experience the acoustic world with more realism. ATMOS is a 3D sound representation and playback system that allows us to describe the sound once, and then play it back with different kinds of playback systems, from headphones, to any number of speakers. Theaters and concert halls can afford to put speakers in the right spots, and to tune the experience. These venues are. after all, just a big box. <br /> <br /> But what can be done in less controlled environments? Most homes are far from perfect when it comes to rendering sounds. It&rsquo;s hard to put the speakers where it is best for 3D sounds.
