MIT’s Music Technology and Computation Graduate Program is a multidisciplinary fusion of art and engineering, with faculty, labs, curricula, and students coming from Music and Theater Arts (MTA) in the School of Humanities Arts and Social Sciences (SHASS), and Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) in the School of Engineering (SoE) and the Schwarzman College of Computing (SCC).
This first year of the program has been exciting and productive. Research by our faculty and graduate students is delivering on the program’s goals - to advance the state of technology in music creation, production, accessibility, interaction, education, and artistic expression while always centering the humanistic aspects of music-making.
The first ever Music Technology Research Showcase presents our work as an interplay of technical presentation and live performance, including a keynote by Associate Professor of MTA & EECS (through SCC) Anna Huang, one of the leading researchers in collaborative Human-AI music making.
The program begins at 7:00pm, and is followed by light refreshments at 8:30pm.
