*The future of music – production and delivery* by Charles J Holbrow (CJH).
What can we learn about the future or music and music technology by looking
at the past? I will present examples that illustrate the evolution of
musical ideas and technologies from their conception to how they have
influenced and continue to influence popular music today. I will describe
how popular music is created today and review some research-stage music
production technologies that aim to influence the current music production
paradigms. As part of my PhD studies at the MIT Media Lab, I am developing
software to enable a new kind of online musical collaboration and
distribution. I will conclude by showing you an early example of this
software
Who is CJH? His early education was in Germany. His high school was the
Sudbury Valley School, an alternative school in Sudbury, MA. After a year
at Middlesex Community College, he transferred to UMass Lowell where he
majored in sound recording technology and performance (piano). Following
jobs developing software for games, he took up an internship at MIT's Opera
of the Future program with noted composer Prof. Tod Machover. Subsequently,
CJH was admitted into MIT's Media Arts and Sciences program from which he
expects soon to receive a Ph.D. He is Charlie Holbrow's grandson.

We, the Lexington Computer and Technology Group, will meet at the usual
10AM Wednesday time, BUT ONLINE, using the Zoom Video Conferencing
Application, facilitated by Steve Isenberg.

Once the connection is established, you may need to locate and use the

to see and hear others and they should be able to see and hear you, if you
have a camera and microphone (each of which you can unmute selectively).


If this email wasn't addressed to you and you would like to join the group,
or if you have a friend or colleague who might also be interested in
joining, it's easy.  Ask them to go to the group's wiki page at

can get a decent Internet connection, even if you're in orbit around Earth
or on another planet or a moon (if you're connecting from somewhere not on
Earth, we'd like to chat).
