All equipment that leaves the house needs to be reserved on the CNMAT reservation calendar. To do that, go to:

Also, an exact list of all equipment leaving the house needs to be emailed to mzed@cnmat.berkeley.edu. Even if I am there and help you pick out the gear, I need *you* to make this list. Also included in this list is an estimate of when you plan to return the gear.

Dense Linear Algebra:

- Filter-banks (e.g. compressor / expander); in hearing aids, EQ.
- Basic linear operations for massively-multi-channel arrays (many-channel arrays)
- Dimensionality reduction for control paradigms (e.g. PCA)
- Sensor integration
- SVD

Sparse Linear Algebra:

- Spectral pruning
- Pitch extraction
- Concatenative synthesis?

I. Introduction

Software running on PCs has largely replaced the electronic and
electro-mechanical equipment previously used in audio and video
production.

For example, Apple's Final Cut Pro is a software video editor that has
largely replaced hardware video editors for movie trailer and
television news production. In audio recording studios, analog tape

MIR: parametric encodings of large audio databases for search, beat matched hybridisation, query by humming etc. Move from per song analysis to note and phrase level.
Audio and video render farms to individually watermark large media databases.

Sound Reproduction
Increased channel count in typical musical performances from 4-8 to 100's of speakers.

Overview:

- Multicore to manycore
- Parallel Patterns, aka 13 Dwarfs
- Compelling applications for handhelds and Laptops

People involved at CNMAT are from a wide range of disciplines and are drawn together by their common interest in exploring the world of music. The principals are specialists in musical composition, musical psychoacoustics and computer science.

CNMAT is located in historic Genevieve McEnerney Hall (once the headquarters
of 1750 Arch Records and the Arch Ensemble), on the hilly north edge of the
UC Berkeley Campus. The CNMAT facility includes research labs, seminar rooms, performance
spaces, offices, and digital audio recording, analysis and synthesis facilities.

CNMAT's educational programs includes a wide range of opportunities for UC Berkeley students and outside scholars, artists, and music lovers. CNMAT technologies support an expanding selection of courses offered through the Department of Music at UC Berkeley. Check under courses to see a full list of the undergraduate-level introductory course as well as the graduate-level seminars.

This page is under construction.

CNMAT supports courses in the [http://ls.berkeley.edu/dept/music/|Department of Music] for undergraduates and graduate students. The UC Berkeley [http://schedule.berkeley.edu/|schedule of classes] shows which courses are offered in a given semester, while the [http://catalog.berkeley.edu/|general catalog] provides course descriptions.

We are located just north of the UC Berkeley main campus on Arch Street,
one block above Hearst.

Industrial and organizational support plays an important role in maintaining
the quality of research at the Center for New Music and Audio Technologies
(CNMAT) at the University of California at Berkeley. CNMAT recognizes the
importance of cooperation between industry and academia in maintaining the
vitality of both. In turn, many industrial firms recognize the valuable

CNMAT was established by Professor Emeritus Richard Felciano in 1987. After the University of California acquired the 1750 Arch Street house and transformed its rooms into computer labs, recording studios, classrooms, offices, and a 50-seat performance space, the facility opened on July 1, 1989. This picture is from the earliest days before CNMAT's renovation:

Everyone can be involved in the exciting cultural, educational, musical
and technological projects happening at CNMAT in some capacity:



**Opportunities at CNMAT:**

• Visiting scholars come for several months or years.
  Even though they often work on personal research, invariably they participate

This is an annotated list of my publications. It's organized by topic in roughly
reverse chronological order. For papers available online, I've made the paper's
title be a link to the online version.(If html and pdf versions are both available,
the title links to html and then after the reference there's a separate link
