The Stanford UniversityCenter for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA) is a multi-discipline facility for computer music composers and researchers. For other meanings of Stanford, see Stanford (disambiguation). ...
The CCRMA community consists of administrative and technical staff, faculty, research associates, graduate research assistants, graduate and undergraduate students, visiting composers, musicians and scholars, and industrial associates.
CCRMA is located on the Stanford University campus in a building that was refurbished in 1986 to meet its unique needs.
Prospective graduate students especially interested in the work at CCRMA should apply to the degree program at Stanford most closely aligned with their specific field of study, i.e., Music, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Psychology, etc. Graduate degree programs offered in music are the DMA in Composition, and the Ph.D. in Computer-Based Music Theory and Acoustics.
CCRMA research by faculty, students, staff and visiting scholars ranges over a vast area including musical signal processing, novel realtime control interfaces, psychoacoustics, music manuscripting and artificial intelligence.
CCRMA hosted a special targetted workshop for the Latin American participants in 1995 offering introductory and advanced level workshops in areas of computer music, signal processing and composition.
CRCA and CCRMA maintained ftp sites for the dissemination of computer music information, and collaborated on improving the network infrastructure in Latin America in support of shared, electronic educational programs, offering a future site of exchange for the new and projected Residency and Exchange Program in New Music Technology partners.
