Dinners With Interesting People

What:

 

Dear fellow Quad residents,

 

At Dinners With Interesting People on Tuesday, 10/17/2017, the featured guest will be Dmitri Tymoczko. RSVP here to join us for dinner.

 

Dmitri is a composer and music theorist who teaches at Princeton.

 

His contributions to music theory include two articles in Science ("The Geometry of Musical Chords" and "Generalized Voice-Leading Spaces"), a book (A Geometry of Music), and a set of demonstration videos such as "Chopin on a Mobius Strip".

 

He's also used computer analysis of large datasets of digital scores to explore the structures implicit in what composers and musicians actually do -- see e.g. "Rock Logic"; "A Study on the Origins of Harmonic Tonality"; "An Information Theoretic Approach to Chord Categorization and Functional Harmony".

 

Albums of his music include Beat TherapyCrackpot Hymnal,and more.

 

  See you there!
