Machine Learning & Music Workshop with FluCoMa developers Ted Moore and Pierre Alexandra Tremblay
This Friday, music tech researchers from the University of Huddersfield UK will present a workshop on their toolkit for machine learning and music called Fluid Corpus Analysis. The workshop will mainly be using Max/MSP, but there will also be opportunities to talk about FluCoMa integration with other programming languages. This is a great opportunity for anyone interested in machine learning and music to talk directly to researchers and developers working in the field!
The Fluid Corpus Manipulation project (FluCoMa) enables techno-fluent musicians to integrate machine listening and machine learning in their creative practice within Max, SuperCollider, and Pure Data. FluCoMa offers audio decomposition tools to separate audio into component elements, audio analysis tools to describe audio components as analytical and statistical representations, data analysis and machine learning algorithms for pattern detection and expressive corpora browsing, and audio morphing and hybridization algorithms for audio remixing, interpolating, and variation-making. Download the package and learn more at flucoma.org.
Voxel Lab Social Hour (or is it pizza hour now?) Thursday Nov 18 6:00 – 7:00
Voxel Lab’s Thursday Socials are an opportunity to learn more about the MIT music tech / digital art community, and meet other people with shared interests. While there will be plenty of time to chat, the socials will also feature short performances/presentations by Voxel Lab members on their work in the lab, and live music / DJ sets by the MIT community.
This Thursday will feature: Philip Tan will demo and talk about hacking 45 rpm turntables for portable scratching! (Here’s an example of someone rocking a 7″ for inspiration :-o ) Matt Caren will talk about using the FAUST functional programming language to create the embedded DSP for his KeyWi music controller
All are welcome to attend! Voxel Lab orientations and safety training will be available immediately after.
Fuzz is one of the classic building blocks of great guitar tone. Jimmy Page, Keith Richards, Eric Clapton, you name it, all used fuzz in building their legendary sound. Fuzz pedals tend to fall into a few distinct categories. The first popular iteration was the Fuzz Face, made famous by Jimi Hendrix, who also popularized the Octavio fuzz pedal, a gnarly sounding, gated fuzz with an analog octave up that gave it a very unique sound. Soon another pedal took center stage: the Tone Bender, made famous by Jimmy Page and his playing in Led Zeppelin. The third of the famous vintage fuzzes is the Big Muff, made popular by many but especially David Gilmour with his violin-like solos in Pink Floyd.

Will Stockwell presents the Quad Operator, a public conversation and demo.
Tuesday Nov. 2 7-8:30pm Voxel Lab E38-391 Free and open to the public Moderated by Voxel Lab co-director Ian Hattwick
Join us as MIT Alumnus Will Stockwell comes to the Voxel Lab to share with us his experiences in designing and commercializing the Quad Operator, a Eurorack FM synthesis module. The format will be a guided conversation and demo, and we are planning on discussing Will’s experience at MIT and his journey into music tech, as well as going into the details of FM synthesis, the design process, and performing with Eurorack systems. Will is a 2005 course VI graduate of MIT. He joined Dropbox in 2009 where he worked as an engineer for mobile until 2014. In 2016 he founded Humble Audio, which designs and manufactures boutique electronic music synthesizers.
