Georgia Tech is now accepting applications for the MS and PhD programs in music technology for matriculation in August 2014. All PhD students, and a limited number of MS students, receive graduate research assistantships that cover tuition and pay a competitive monthly stipend. The deadline for applications is January 31, 2014.
The MS in Music Technology is a two-year program that instills in students the theoretical foundation, technical skills, and creative aptitude to design the disruptive technologies that will enable new modes of music creation and consumption in a changing industry. Students take courses in areas such as music information retrieval, music perception and cognition, signal processing, interactive music, the history of electronic music, and technology ensemble. They also work closely with faculty on collaborative research projects and on their own MS project or thesis. Recent students in the program have worked and/or interned at companies such as Apple, Avid, Dolby, Bose, Gracenote, Rdio, Sennheiser, Ableton, Echo Nest, and Smule, and gone on to PhD studies. Applicants are expected to have an undergraduate degree in music, computing, engineering, or a related discipline, and they should possess both strong musical and technical skills.
Students in the PhD program in Music Technology pursue individualized research agendas in close collaboration with faculty in areas such as interactive music, robotic musicianship, music information retrieval, digital signal processing, mobile music, network music, and music education, focusing on conducting and disseminating novel research with a broad impact. PhD students are also trained in research methods, teaching pedagogy, and an interdisciplinary minor field as they prepare for careers in academia, at industry research labs, or in their own startup companies. PhD applicants are expected to hold a Masters degree in music technology or from an allied field, such as computing, music, engineering, or media arts and sciences. All applicants must demonstrate mastery of core masters-level material covered in Music Technology, including music theory, performance, composition, and/or analysis; music information retrieval; digital signal processing and synthesis; interactive music systems design; and music cognition.
Both the MS and PhD programs are housed within the School of Music at Georgia Tech, in close collaboration with the Georgia Tech Center for Music Technology (GTCMT). The GTCMT is an international center for creative and technological research in music, focusing on the development and deployment of innovative musical technologies that transform the ways in which we create and experience music. Its mission is to provide a collaborative framework for committed students, faculty, and researchers from all across campus to apply their musical, technological, and scientific creativity to the development of innovative artistic and technological artifacts.
Core faculty in the music technology program include Gil Weinberg (robotic musicianship, mobile music, and sonification), Jason Freeman (participatory and collaborative systems, education, and composition), Alexander Lerch (music information retrieval and digital signal processing), Timothy Hsu (acoustics), Frank Clark (multimedia and network music), and Chris Moore (recording and production).

Hi,
I’m working on a project for my PhD that recombines audio segments
according to pre-defined generative methods. For those familiarised
with concatenative sound synthesis, earGram reformulates the notion of
unit selection algorithms to encompass generative music strategies. It
relies heavily on timbreID a known library for PD by William Brent.
So, here's the website that hosts the project:
https://sites.google.com/site/eargram/
You can find project examples in the download section as well. P
In addition there are plenty of abstractions that may interest you, in
particular clustering and dimensionality reduction algorithms...
As you can guess, I would like to get feedbacks and advises.
Best,
Gilberto Bernardes

Most important changes 1.9.30 -> 1.9.31:
* New demo song: BlowFish! Made by www.magnetophon.nl
* Save hashmap elements in sorted order so that songs can more easily
be compared textually
* Menu entry to show name of all included pd externals
* Help menu options to edit keybindings and menues
* Song comment dialog
* Fix "Switch Window Configuration" menu option
* Removed "Error. y2>=window->height: ..." error. Just print to stderr instead.
* Removed the "Something strange just happened in the function
Blt_markVisible" warning (print to stderr instead)
* Option to set number of scrolls per second. Scrolling too often can
be tiresome for the eyes.
* Make it easier to connect objects and see connections in the mixer,
plus adjust object sizes
* Patchbay sound object
* Fix crash loading Soundfonts in the Fluidsynth and Sampler instrument
* Show stars around filename if theres unsaved data
* When quitting or loading, only ask sure/yes/no if edited since last save.
* Change "Set Patch For Track" to "Set Instrument For Track" in the
instruments menu.
The word "patch" should not be exposed to the user anymore.
* Be able to load files with DOS char set
* Changed internal radium block size to 64 (similar to Pd)
* Sending note events between sound objects (green lines)
* Enable undo for on/off effect controllers
* Pd extended is included as a sound object. 921 externals are
included. GUI is working.
Several instances is working. Can be used to write both audio
effects and note effects.
* Fix qt paths on Archlinux (Javafant/archlinux)
* Many minor bug fixes
Hi,
I’m actually working on a project that aims to facilitate the creation of
GUI externals in Pd and to easily convert source code from Max to Pd and
from Pd to Max. I’ve created a small C/C++ library (at the end, it will be
a full C library) with:
- An automatic generation of border and inlets/outlets (like Max)
- A better graphics behavior (layers and functions to clip the drawings
within the box boundaries) (like Max)
- Attributes (size, value, whatever you want) that are saved with the patch
(like Max)
- Dynamic inlets/outlets (like Max…)
- An easy management of mouse motion and keys
- Macros to convert from Max to Pd and from Pd to Max
So, here the git of the project :
https://github.com/pierreguillot/PdEnhanced.git
You can find Mac examples in the Pd Chocolate folder, a small set of
externals that is not essential, unlike Pd vanilla, but that can be useful
(there’re a vu~ and a nbx~ that don’t have the blink effect of their
homologue). You will also find a library, much more substantial with many
quite complex GUIs dedicated to ambisonics on the git project HOA where the
codes are almost similar to those used in Max:
http://www.mshparisnord.fr/hoalibrary/https://github.com/CICM/HoaLibrary.git
As you can guess, I would like to get feedbacks and advises.
The things I want to improve are:
- the automatic creation of the properties window based on the attributes
- a better captation of mouse events (right click in run mode for example)
- creation of object in a sort of « canvas » or « window » like popmenu or
entry (I want to use the clip functions of tcl/tk)
So, if you want to participate to this project, you are welcome and if you
have externals that you want to convert from Max to Pd or from Pd to Max, i
can help you.
Sorry if you have already seen this topic on one of the puredata forum but
I don't want to miss a potential helper.
Best,
Pierre
