THIS is computer music: Ge Wang at TEDxStanford
Ғылым және технология
Ge Wang is an assistant professor at Stanford's Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA).
His research focuses on programming languages and interactive software design for computer music, mobile and social music, laptop orchestras and education at the intersection of computer science and music. Wang is the author of the ChucK audio programming language, as well as the founding director of the Stanford Laptop Orchestra (SLOrk) and the Stanford Mobile Phone Orchestra (MoPhO). He is also the co-founder of Smule (which makes social music making apps and has over 100 million users) and the designer of the iPhone's Ocarina and Magic Piano.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Yea, there were some awesome jokes in his speech :)
After 20 years of tech.. finally a guy that understands that tech is a tool and not meant to stand on its own.
The little minimalist pieces of music played by global users of Ocarina sound so otherworldly and lonely, like little candles flickering in the night far away from another. Such a lovely presentation! Much to think about.
as soon as he played them singing together I was hit by a massive wave of joy and chills. so epic, a world to live in

It's not that they don't know what they are doing. It is that it is a struggle to explain it to people who are not specialists in the field, in a way that they would understand. Also, this field of study is so new, and crosses boundaries between disciplines. So it is difficult to summarize with just two words "computer music", without meaning being lost between communicators. That is why this talk is focused on broadening the definition and explaining just a few of the basics.

Now I finally understand how Smule is a genuinely fun app to play around with, no wonder when it's partially driven by a guy with such passion for the art of music, wonderful stuff
ahh dude i cried a little bit when i saw everyone singing "Lean On Me." This was an exceptionally well done TEDx Talk from an Exceptionally beautiful soul.

I like this guy. :) Good heart, doing it for the right reasons.
3:50 best soundtrack to have playing when a cop pulls you over :D
I met him in the past at the ICMC. He is a very kind person and fantastic teacher. He is a great addition to CCRMA research team.

Makes me happy that people like Ge Wang not only exist, but teach and share. There's hope for us still.
Computer music, because sometimes my computer gets bored doing it's every day tasks and needs a soundtrack to help it get through an otherwise tedious day.

one word can easily mean more than one word in another language. souka (japanese) means "I see" or "I understand". Arigatou means "thank you". ore wa kowai desu means "I'm scared".

JCI1990 not really, but shall we be technical The King of Songs is just 2 words in English. The is just a subject header specifying a word as a certain subject. of is a preposition. Without The and of, the word order changes into Song King, which literally has the same meaning in English. and Ge Wang is Song King and therefore the meaning is the same, now you have to acknowledge that Mandarin Chinese doesn't have plurality or prepositions. So Ge Wang could have more meanings. Song King The King of Songs, Kings of Song, King of Song, The Kings of Songs.
Wow, tears at that "Lean on Me" rendition.
This guy is just cool, his voice, he is funny and smart.
Invented Smule... occupies my evening time playing Magic piano. Nice and respect.
Thanks Ge Wang, brillant use of the computer to get people to work and play together. Music certainly brings folks together and the potential for world peace is almost out there.

Smule makes such creative and fun apps for expressing music, which anyone with a little desire can express themselves without having to learn a traditional instrument
I like this guy too, he loves is art and makes it positively contagious
An improved, computer-enhanced Theremin with many possible voices!! Great!
After seeing Chuck I am so happy that Max MSP is a visual based language.
How a nice and impressive lecture! I'm a teacher in korea at Seoul electronic high school. I teach social studies and also music for school group sound band. I will share story with my students^^ I hope someday you and I and my student would talk about computer music and human together!
Wow! that was amazing. I was biased about computers making music, but this is a whole different kettle of fish. Thank you.
i just downloaded ocarina. it is actually very cool to listen to other people all over the world play
jeez he has had quite some success. I remember playing the Smule Magic Piano app back in the days.
Wang: This thing pulls sound out of the ground. Me: Oh. Thing: wwWAAAAaaaAAAOOOOOWWWHHHHhh Me: *o h.*
Excellent talk amazing work done .
cried at the at... life is amazing..
Genius! And Ge Wang has a GREAT EAR and aesthetic
_Amazing, I believe I found this at the right time. Thank you Professor Wang+
Wow, that sample at about 10 minutes is awesome. It could be that artists could do two things at a time: expressing something physically and create their musid through that expression. I would love to see something like that.

I don't know what "SM" is but if FB means facebook, it's because nobody ever reads it anyway, unless it's photos of your food.
This is not computer music, it is still human expression, just using a different medium. It is a soft synth with a different interface.
this is absolutely amazing!
This guy is a genius! Why when I check Smule "about us", only business looking people appear and there is no trace of this brilliant guy?
Music & Computer Skills both combined, this is the Ultimate Asian xD

Huh? Maybe the Stanford part of it. I mean, in 1997, it wasn't all THAT glamorous and easy, but it marks the year when Jeskola Buzz was released, and it didn't run too badly on that Pentium MMX laptop you could get back then.
I love this. Technology to become more human. The best things always come in opposites.
Could you explain in more detail how it works for the smartphone? Thanks in advance.

Hi do anyone knows the title of the early intro music, thanks !!;)
love your work!!
very lovely talk
That would be so perfect as a tool for the creation of ambience or horror themes!
Can you create the "Electronic Tonalities" of Louis and Bebe Barron in the movie FORBIDDEN PLANET? They were true electronic music creators not in any way limited by any human instrument. I would like to hear more of this kind of "music" beyond what was in the movie. There must be millions of possible sounds and even symphonies that would fit in with their style of work. Maybe it could be analyzed and then expanded???
¡¡¡Qué pasada!!! Gracias
