MIT has launched a new, multidisciplinary MIT graduate program in music technology and computation. The program is a collaboration between the Music and Theater Arts Section in the School of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences (SHASS); the MIT Schwarzman College of Computing; and the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) in the School of Engineering.
The graduate program in music technology and computation will feature faculty, labs, and curricula from across the Institute.
Head of the MIT Music and Theater Arts Section and the Class of 1949 Professor, Jay Scheib said, “The launch of a new graduate program in music technology strikes me as both a necessary and a provocative gesture — an important leap in an era being rapidly redefined by exponential growth in computation, artificial intelligence, and human-computer interactions of every conceivable kind.”
MIT’s practitioners define music technology as a scientific inquiry field where they can study, discover, and develop new computational approaches to music. These approaches include generative algorithms; music information retrieval; artificial intelligence; machine learning; digital instrument design; interaction and performance systems; conceptual and perceptual modeling of music; acoustics; audio signal processing; and software development for creative expression and music applications.
Professor of the practice in music technology and one of the program lead, Eran Egozy says, “MIT’s focus is technical research in music technology that always centers the humanistic and artistic aspects of making music.”
The MIT Graduate Program in Music Technology and Computation encompasses two Master’s degrees and a Ph.D. degree:
- The Master of Science (SM)
- The Master of Applied Science (MASc)
- The Ph.D. program
Interested candidates need to fill out the form to enrol in any of these graduate programs.
