Laboratory for Audio and Music at Purdue (LAMP)
The Laboratory for Audio and Music at Purdue (LAMP) brings together music, audio, and technology through research, composition, performance, and interdisciplinary collaboration. LAMP work connects sound analysis and synthesis, AI, sonification, acoustic ecology, human-computer interaction, composition, immersive audio, performance, and education.
Projects
LAMP research focuses on sound-centered initiatives in Sound AI, Sound Health, soundscape and community listening, immersive audio, composition, performance, and interdisciplinary music technology. Examples include Sound AI with Purdue Polytechnic's Guitar Lab, Vital Audio, Citygram, community-centered airplane noise research, and performance-centered creative scholarship. More detail is available on the LAMP projects page. Conference, residency, ensemble, and public event work is documented on the LAMP productions page.
