Live from the Conference "Mathematics and Computation in Music" (MCM 2009, New Haven)

The conference Mathematics and Computing in Music has been held over this weekend since last Friday at Yale University. Today is the last session. This conference has been an excellent event, with very interesting approaches shown for music analysis and mathematical models of tonality. I purchased the proceedings band with the paper presentations. My own poster presentation which I showed on Saturday was well received. I received encouragement to publish this as a journal paper. I also implemented an MScape version of the Tonnetz on my mobile phone, allowing participants to walk around the Yale University campus and experiencing the Tonnetz as a walk-through, with consonant triads being created as one moves from "note to note".

This is the poster which I showed here at MCM 2009:
