“Music Understanding by Computer”
  
     
 

Abstract: Computers are used in many ways for music analysis and music composition. One problem with computers performing musical tasks is that most computers have no real knowledge of music. However, researchers continue to make progress in the area of music understanding systems. This talk will demonstrate some music understanding tasks that have been automated.

Speaker's Bio:Roger B. Dannenberg is Associate Research Professor of Computer Science and Art at Carnegie Mellon University, where he received a Ph.D. in 1982. He is well known for his work in interactive computer music systems, especially computers that accompany live musicians. Thousands of music students use this technology every day. Dr. Dannenberg is also a composer, and he plays trumpet professionally in a local jazz quartet and big band.
