In this unique jazz event, the audience experienced the science behind the music via stunning large-screen visuals and an interactive iPhone app. The performance featured an award-winning ensemble of musicians, including The Marc Cary Focus Trio and Will Calhoun (Grammy award-winning percussionist of Living Colour). 91制片厂’s Expressive & Creative Interaction Technologies (ExCITe) Center produced the event and designed the visuals and an interactive mobile app that enabled audience members to visualize the scientific principles behind musical phenomena, such as wavelength and frequency, pitch and harmony, rhythm, timbre, and concert hall acoustics.
