An Introduction to the Musical Acoustics Technical Committee

The technical committee on musical acoustics (TCMU) is focused on the discovery of novel advancements in the science and technology of music and musical instruments. Many of our members pursue topics related to the physics of musical sound production, music perception and cognition, and the analysis and synthesis of musical sounds and composition. The TCMU draws from many fields represented in the society. Our sessions have presentations made by scientists, engineers, musicians, instrument builders, psychologists, architects, and others interested in the study of the science of music. An overview of selected research topics and activities of the TCMU will be presented.
