DESCRIPTION:ECE Seminar Lecture Series\n\nWednesday\, 2/12/2025\n\n12:00-1:
 00 PM\n\n601 Computer Studies Building\n\n \n\nMIT recently launched a new 
 master’s degree program in Music Technology and Computation\, an initiative
  driven by the convergence of several factors: the organic growth of underg
 raduate interest\, an increased focus on multidisciplinary initiatives at M
 IT\, and a close collaboration between the music department and the school 
 of engineering. This effort also included the hiring of three new faculty m
 embers specializing in music technology\, including Mark Rau (acoustic mode
 ling) and Anna Huang (human-AI co-creation)\, who have just joined the team
 . These developments are laying the foundation for a new music technology c
 enter at MIT\, offering exciting potential for innovative research and educ
 ation.\n\n \n\nIn this talk\, Eran will share the story of how this program
  was established and highlight the diverse research interests of the new fa
 culty. He will also delve into his own research\, which explores creating e
 xperiences that deepen people’s engagement with music. The presentation wil
 l conclude with a live demonstration of Tutti\, an interactive experience w
 here the audience becomes an orchestra\, using their mobile phones as music
 al instruments.\n\n \n\nBio: ERAN EGOZY\, Professor of the Practice and Dir
 ector of the Music Technology Graduate Program at MIT\, is an entrepreneur\
 , musician\, and technologist. He was the co-founder and chief technical of
 ficer of Harmonix Music Systems which developed the video game franchises G
 uitar Hero and Rock Band\, selling over 35 million units worldwide and gene
 rating over $2 billion in annual sales. Eran and his business partner Alex 
 Rigopulos were named in Time Magazine’s Time 100\, Fortune Magazine’s Top 4
 0 Under 40\, and USA Network’s Character Approved awards.\n\n \n\nEran is a
 lso an accomplished clarinetist. Hailed as “sensitive and energetic” (Bosto
 n Musical Intelligencer)\, he has appeared as soloist with the MIT Symphony
  Orchestra and as guest artist on the radio show From the Top. Eran is the 
 clarinetist for Radius Ensemble (named Boston’s Best Classical Ensemble in 
 2016 by The Improper Bostonian)\, and has appeared with Boston area ensembl
 es such as Emmanuel Music and A Far Cry. Prior to starting Harmonix\, Eran 
 earned degrees in Electrical Engineering and Music from MIT. His current re
 search and teaching interests include interactive music systems\, music inf
 ormation retrieval\, and multimodal musical expression and engagement. Rece
 nt projects include *12*\, an audience-participation work for chamber music
  were audience members use their mobile to musically interact with the stag
 e musicians\, and Tutti\, a massively multiplayer mobile-audience performan
 ce piece where the entire audience becomes the orchestra. Eran is currently
  developing ConcertCue\, a program-note streaming mobile app for live class
 ical music concerts\, which has been featured with the Boston Symphony Orch
 estra\, Boston Baroque\, and the New World Symphony.
