I got invited to present at Moogfest, which is this awesome music festival hosted by Moog. My research is actually all about musical tinkerings: helping people learn by playing around with music technologies in order to make things. I graduated recently from MIT Media Lab, where I did my Ph.D.
How’d you get involved with this project? Inverse spoke with Eric Rosenbaum, who’s been with the project since, basically, its conception. The hope, here, is twofold: one, that people will get inspired by the act of creation two, that coders will take the open source code and make more awesome web-music tools. There are currently 12 experiments, all of which have open source code, and all of which are fantastic, instructional, worthwhile time-wasters. With the left mouse button pressed, it generates, for example, sine or sawtooth waves, which can be modulated as desired by moving the mouse up and down - until you feel sorry for the innocent figures, which you mercilessly stretch or compress and in their wide-open mouths Frequency response is to be followed.On Wednesday, Google released its Chrome Music Lab, an interactive way for people of all ages to both learn and create music.

One can be played with the keyboard - even with multiple hands with pianists in different places.Īnother piano experiment is used to visualize chords. These include sequencers for arranging small songs or for creating melodies or simple rhythms, but also visually impressive things like a spectrogram that shows the frequency spread of a trombone or a harp. Under the name Chrome Music Lab, the company has assembled a good dozen experiments, all of which can be operated in the browser without prior knowledge. Teachers at school can use them as well as children at home.Įven adults can gain knowledge here - or at least some fun. Many small, digital music workshops from Google show how it's done. Making music works without sheet music and conventional instruments.
