Program Description
Event Details
Join us for an engaging exploration of the hidden mathematics that is intrinsic to the music we love. Discover the mathematical relationships that are used to define musical scales. Together we will explore the physics of sound waves, different aspects of modern sound processing and even discuss the use of AI in music composition.
What You will Experience:
- The Science of Sound: Understand what a musical note really is in terms of frequencies, amplitudes, and timbre.
- Musical Ratios & Harmony: Learn how simple numerical ratios shape intervals and scales.
- Sound Processing: Discover how raw sound is transformed—from initial capture and recording to amplification and digital editing—into the rich audio experiences we enjoy every day.
- Digital Innovations: Dive into how algorithms and AI are transforming music today.
Who Should Attend:
Music enthusiasts, math lovers, curious minds, and anyone who has ever wondered why certain sounds just “feel right.”
