The Science of Sound & Electronic Music

​Your brain doesn't hear music. It invents it.

​A workshop by Will (Electrical Engineer (Audiovisual Signal Processing), MSc in Intelligent Interactive Systems & Music Computing, professional DJ, Dancer, and light coder.

​What makes bass hit your chest? Why does a melody make you sad? How does a room full of strangers become a tribe on a dance floor?

​This is not a DJ class (Although we'll play music).

This is a journey through the science hiding inside music

🔹 from the physics of sound waves and the Fourier Transform, through psychoacoustics and how your brain tricks you into hearing things that aren't there, to the neuroscience of rhythm, bonding, and why we dance together.

​We'll cover:
→ The physics of sound: waves, harmonics, filters, and the Fourier Transform → Psychoacoustics: how your brain perceives frequency, loudness, and space → The emotional architecture of music: rhythm, melody, harmony, tension & release → Sound synthesis and what makes electronic music unique → The DJ as a real-time scientist → The neuroscience of the dance floor: entrainment, oxytocin, and collective trance

​Expect an intimate atmosphere with sound meant to be felt, not just heard. Live demos on a real DJ setup. Science you can experience with your body.

​No music background needed. Curiosity is required though.

​This is the first session of a series exploring abstract concepts through direct experience. Come curious.
