Concert

David Kant and Andrew C. Smith rework and reinterpret pieces by David Dunn, Larry Polansky, and Robert Ashley. David Kant performs David Dunn’s “Thresholds and Fragile States,” for a network of eight chaotic oscillators, using his digital implementation of the original analog circuits. Andrew C. Smith performs Larry Polansky’s solo piece "Piano Study #5” for just intonation Fender Rhodes, drawing on Polansky’s performance history and archival recordings of the piece. Finally, the duo performs “The Park” from Robert Ashley’s Perfect Lives, with saxophone, Rhodes, and electronics, following the composer’s instructions that the “score” for the piece is the text itself.

Prof. Takako Fujioka on Neural correlates for prediction of musical structures and learning-related functional plasticity

Event Type:

Hearing Seminar

What can EEG (and MEG) tell us about how we perceive polyphony, syntax, and longer-scale relationships? How does our perception of time develop as we listen to a musical piece? I think this work is important because we know precious little about how we music perception works, at the neural level. EEG and MEG give us tools to help us understand how we represent music internally, and how our perception develops over time. I’m very happy to announce that Prof. Takako Fujioka will be at the Hearing Seminar to update us with her latest work.
