MOSS: The Mobile Sounds Studio for Teaching and Learning at MIT

Principal Investigator
Prof. Michael Cuthbert, Music and Theater Arts
Fund: Alumni Class Funds
Funding Period: AY2012
Department/Lab/Center: Music and Theater Arts

The Mobile Sound Studio at MIT will be a resource allowing students in many music subjects, but particularly "21M.380: Music and Technology," to study modern audio recording, transformation, and editing techniques and live-electronic performance both in various locations throughout the Institute and Boston (each with their own opportunities and difficulties) and in their own rooms using computers with which they are comfortable. The new equipment complements a push by Music and Theater Arts to bring in new faculty and offer new subjects in music and technology; a move currently limited by lack of modern equipment for sound recording and design.
