معرفی
Matt Wright is a Lecturer at Stanford University's Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA), specializing in media systems design and computer music research. He previously served as Musical Systems Designer at UC Berkeley's CNMAT (1993-2008) and Research Director at UCSB's CREATE center for eight years. His work focuses on real-time music synthesis, sound standards (SDIF/OSC), and computational ethnomusicology. He holds a PhD from Stanford CCRMA on musical rhythm perception, and contributed to the AlloSphere immersive audiovisual instrument.
Education: PhD in Computer-Based Music Theory from Stanford University (completed at CCRMA). Earlier studies include training in traditional lutes and Afro-Brazilian percussion.
Research interests bridge technology and music: developing tools for musical gesture analysis, sound synthesis, and cross-cultural music analysis. His recent work also involves genomic data platforms (ClinGen) for clinical variant curation, reflecting a dual focus on computational music and bioinformatics.
Publications emphasize both music technology (e.g., EEG studies of piano duets) and genomics (e.g., ClinGen variant curation tools). He has advised students in electronic arts and contributed to genetic disease research through collaborative frameworks like ClinVar.
Labs/Teams: Lead the CREATE Ensemble (technology-driven live performance) and contributed to the AlloSphere research instrument at UCSB's CREATE center.
