Hacking Audio and Music Research (HAMR) 2014

January 25 - 26th, 2014
Columbia University
New York, NY

Researchers are invited to participate in HAMR 2014, an upcoming hackathon focusing on the development of new techniques for analyzing, processing, and synthesizing audio and music signals.  Following the success of HAMR at Columbia 2013 and HAMR in the woods, the event will be modeled after a traditional hack day in that it will involve 24 hours of fast-paced work with an emphasis on trying something new rather than finishing something polished.  However, this event will deviate from the typical hack day in its focus on research (rather than commercial) applications.  Individuals and groups are invited to spend a concentrated 24 hours working on novel research in any of the following areas:

* Music informatics
* Audio, speech and music signal processing
* Machine listening
* Environmental sound analysis
* Computer music
* Computational auditory perception/cognition

HAMR 2014 will be held immediately following NEMISIG 2014 from January 25th-26th 2014 at the newly opened Studio@Butler at Columbia University.   Registration is free and researchers from any stage in their career are encouraged to participate.  All individuals who would like to attend should fill out this form before January 14th.
