Sound & Music Computing for Human Health & Potential
Themed Concert on Nov 19, 2023
In NUS Sound and Music Computing Lab, it is a cherished tradition to hold a musical event each year, bringing students, staff, and faculty members together to celebrate the fulfillment of the semester. Our recent event — Sound & Music Computing for Human Health & Potential (SMC4HHP) Themed Concert has just taken place at NUS campus on Sunday, 19 November. It has been the 2nd year in a roll that we resume our musical tradition after the pandemic.
This concert is hosted as part of the fulfillment of CS4347/5647 Sound and Music Computing, our course module open to both undergraduate and postgraduate students. Many of our performers are from right there. Apart from music, we are also keen to demonstrating cutting-edge AI technology that empowers musicians to unlock their creative potential. Particularly, in this year, our concert is featured with a special demo track, where distinguished course projects from CS4347/5647 are invited for a live showcase. [poster] [program sheet]
