A
group of researchers at McMaster University, under the direction of Dr. Laurel
Trainor, including music theorists, musicians, psychologists, neuroscientists,
mathematicians, kinesiologists, health scientists, and engineers have created
the Institute for Music and the Mind.
The
aim of this institute is to create a world-class facility where musicians,
scientists, and researchers can work together to study questions about the
physical structure of music, the evolution of music, the neural processing of
music, the performance of music, and the perception of music.
Further
questions concern how the auditory and motor systems interact to produce music,
how performers synchronize with each other, how people encode and recognize
music, and how groups in society are defined by the music they play.
Critically, the developmental neuroscience perspective will inform the research
community on how music induces emotional reactions, how musical experience and
training affect brain development, and how musical training/exposure affects
language, cognitive, and social abilities in both children and adults.
This
institute brings together science and the arts in a unique and innovative way,
with the goal of enhancing the scientific study of music across Canada and
internationally.

Recent computer software products
have
brought us new tools for use as Real Time and Spectrum Analyzers with a
variety of functions previously locked to dedicated hardware/software
based products.
This presentation will offer a view
of a
range of these audio tools including demonstrations and discussion on
how our presenters utilize them in their professional and personal
audio endeavors.

John "Beetle" Bailey got his start
in the
mid-seventies in New Hamburg, ON, where he started experimenting with a
tape recorder to get out of violin lessons. Flash forward to 1994 and
he became the head engineer at Lydian Sound, where he worked on
projects that won JUNO Awards, and earned gold and platinum awards.
In 2001, Bailey decided to go
freelance.
He bought the former Arnyard Studios in 2006, renamed it "The Drive
Shed", and was awarded the "Recording Engineer Of The Year" Juno for
his work on "Rain" performed by Molly Johnson, and "The Sisters Of
Mercy" performed by Serena Ryder. John has also received a 2008
nomination for his work on "Something In The Air Between Us" performed
by Sophie Milman, and "I'm On Fire" performed by Kevin Breit &
Harry Manx.
Joining John for the presentation
will be
Vic Florencia (Juno winner for Estero), Jeremy Darby, and Denis Tougas
(Juno winner for Amanda Marshall).
The Drive Shed (formerly Arnyard
Studios)
is a tracking studio with an expansive live room with three large
windows which allow sunlight to stream in all day long. A good-sized
Iso-Booth can accommodate the piano, allowing tracking sessions to have
'drums-on-the-floor'. The control room features a DigiDesign ICON 32
fader console.

ENGINEER available at WNYC.
