Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA)
Business Profile
Core Value Proposition
[CCRMA] provides a multi-disciplinary facility where composers and researchers use computer-based technology as an artistic medium and as a research tool.
Target Customer
Graduate students, researchers, composers and music technologists; external candidates for CCRMA graduate programs; attendees of CCRMA events and seminars (public access to many events).
Key Differentiator
Stanford-based, cross-disciplinary hub that explicitly blends academic research in computer-based music and acoustics with hands-on artistic creation, public performances, and open seminars, plus distinctive facilities like CCRMA WAVE.
Implementation Timeline
Program admissions opened for CBMTA/MA/MST as of Sept 15, 2025; applications are due on the second Tuesday of December each year. CCRMA events run on an ongoing schedule (e.g., seminars, concerts, and workshops with posted dates).
Pain Points
- 1Need for advanced graduate education in computer-based music theory, acoustics, and technology (CBMTA PhD and MA/MST programs).
- 2Need for a collaborative environment that bridges music composition, signal processing, and acoustics research.
- 3Need for ongoing education and community engagement through public seminars, concerts, and workshops.
Key Features
- 1Graduate programs: PhD in Computer Based Music Theory and Acoustics (CBMTA) and MA/MST in Music, Science, and Technology (MS&T).
- 2Public-facing facilities and events: CCRMA WAVE (Wall for AudioVisual Expression) and CCRMA LIVE concerts.
- 3Regular seminars and talks (DSP Seminars, Hearing Seminars, Guest Lectures) with open/public access.
- 4Broad course offerings at CCRMA (e.g., Intermedia Workshop, Foundations in Sound Recording Technology, Introduction to Audio Signal Processing, etc.).
- 5Public engagement through concerts and installations (e.g., Transitions 2025, Intermedia Workshop installations).
- 6Access to online/offline event formats (in-person and Zoom links for events).
