Thursday, October 16: Gould Library Athenaeum, Noon to 1 p.m.
Technology has long been a driving force in music, shaping and extending artists thoughts as well as their abilities. Each new instrument introduces new sounds and performance possibilities, which in turn affect the creative process.
Advances in digital technology have created a whole new breed of instruments, including digital samplers, synthesizers and effects. More recently, with the increasing speed of laptop computers, new instruments are being created solely in software, allowing an unprecedented level of control and flexibility.
This talk will focus on developments in live music performance technology as well as their implications and applications.
