AES KEYNOTE BY "THIS IS YOUR BRAIN ON MUSIC" AUTHOR
Daniel Levitin To Address The Underlying Purpose For All The Technology NEW YORK: Beyond the gear, technology, bit rates, and acoustics, the unifying element common to all AES members and attendees is a pure love of music. Daniel Levitin, best-selling author; head of the McGill University Laboratory for Music Perception, Cognition and Expertise; musician; producer; and former stand-up comedian, will deliver the keynote address at the Audio Engineering Society 123rd Convention on October 5th at NY's Jacob Javits Center. ![]() "This keynote address will provide our attendees with food for thought about the underlying purpose and long-term impact of their role in contemporary culture. Professor Levitin's off-beat perceptions may also spark spirited debate about neural processing and the science behind music's undisputed emotional power," Anderson adds. An AES member since 1985, Daniel Levitin has presented research papers and participated at a number of the organization's panels and events. The soft cover edition of his book will be released by Penguin in late September.
