Jazz and the Digital Age
The School of Music merges technology with traditional sound in this unique jazz concert. Hear one of Carnegie Mellon's Jazz Ensembles, directed by David Pellow, perform a new arrangement by John Wilson for jazz band, soloists and digital string orchestra. The orchestra is comprised of five Carnegie Mellon music students who have recorded 20 digital tracks that will be time-stretched to synchronize with the live band. A member of the Jazz Ensemble will tap a custom-made foot pedal, which allows the computer to sense the tempo and other cues in different parts of the music. The event is free and open to the public.
