Join us on April 3rd at Bourbon Street Grille to learn about the science, math, and mystery of making music.Dr. David People, professor of music at University of North Georgia, will give his talk, "Machines and Soul into a Musical Thought". All ages welcome for this fascinating talk. Here's a summary of the talk:

Let’s ride some waves! The production of sound involves some interesting uses of geometry. We will explore (through live demonstration) the development of synthesis through wave manipulation – what does a square moving forward in time sound like? What about a triangle? How does it all relate to instruments and the voice? Then we’ll hear what happens when you throw pitch into those shapes, throw in some math — a little about acoustics — and music as an experience. Then… we’ll collaboratively write something together and create a new music composition.
