* Sept 23, 2020 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
