</font></font>Due to their mobility, computing power, and sheer strength in
numbers, mobile phones have become much more than simply “a phone” (and
mobile devices more than simply “portable computers”), increasingly
serving as personal and “natural” extensions of ourselves. Therein
lies, we believe, immense potential to reshape the way we think and do,
and especially in how we engage one another expressively and socially.
This presentation explores the research we are doing on social/mobile
music at Stanford and at Smule – including mobile phone orchestras,
iPhone’s Ocarina, Leaf Trombone: World Stage, Magic Piano, and more. We
also trace their origins to laptop orchestras, programming languages
for music, and an intersection of music, computer science, and the
simple joy of building things together.
<h4>Bio</h4><p>Ge Wang is an Assistant Professor at Stanford University in the
Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA). His
research include interactive software systems for computer music,
programming languages, mobile music, new performance ensembles (e.g.,
laptop orchestras and mobile phone orchestras), interfaces for
human-computer interaction, and methodologies for education at the
intersection of computer science and music. Ge is the author of the
ChucK audio programming language. He is the founder and director of the
Stanford Laptop Orchestra (SLOrk) and the Stanford Mobile Phone
Orchestra (MoPhO). Concurrently, Ge is also the Co-founder, CTO, and
Chief Creative Officer of Smule, a startup exploring interactive social
music for mobile platforms. He is the designer of the iPhone’s Ocarina
and Leaf Trombone: World Stage, and the iPad’s Magic Piano and Magic
Fiddle.</p><font size="-1"><font size="-1"><br>
