• In early June CRCA Researcher Toshiro Yamada worked with Lecturer Dr. Filippo Fazi in Southampton, UK to design and improve virtual audio rendering techniques for King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST). They used a 22.2 speaker setup at the Institute for Sound and Vibration Research to develop a real-time algorithm and implemented variations that will be tested in the KAUST MPR, Cornea and Audio Dev Room. Dr. Fazi is an expert in acoustics and sound field control using loudspeaker array.
  
  In addition to this research, Toshiro worked with various KAUST systems and made a number of improvements on Asset Manager. He has also presented a paper with Zachary Seldess of KAUST Vis Lab at the international Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression in Oslo, Norway.

Miller Puckette
Miller's website

Miller Puckette obtained a B.S. in Mathematics from MIT (1980) and Ph. D. in Mathematics from Harvard (1986). Puckette was a member of MIT's Media Lab from its inception until 1987, and then a researcher at IRCAM (l'Institut de Recherche et de Coordination Musique/Acoustique, founded by composer and conductor Pierre Boulez). There he wrote the Max program for MacIntosh computers, which was first distributed commercially by Opcode Systems in 1990 and is now available from Cycling74.com . In 1989 Puckette joined IRCAM's "musical workstation" team and put together an enhanced version of Max, called Max/FTS, for the ISPW system, which was commercialized by Ariel, Inc. This system became a widely used platform in computer music research and production facilities. The IRCAM real-time development team has since reimplemented and extended this software under the name jMax, which is distributed free with source code. Puckette joined the Music department of the University of California, San Diego in 1994, and is now Associate Director of the Center for Research in Computing and the Arts (CRCA). He is currently working on a new real-time software system for live musical and multimedia performances called Pure Data ("Pd"), in collaboration with many other artists/researchers/programmers worldwide. Pd is free and runs on Linux, IRIX, and Windows systems. Since 1997 Puckette has also been part of the Global Visual Music project with Mark Danks, Rand Steiger, and Vibeke Sorensen, which has been generously supported by a grant from the Intel Research Council.
