This is both a Talk and Play session proposal.  Wikipedia has a wealth of content and STEM seems to be the focus.  The entries related to the humanities are often not as well developed.  For a talk session I propose to discuss efforts we are making (or want to make) to improve Wikipedia in the areas related to the humanities.  For a play session, I propose we actually have a small, impromptu edit-a-thon.  It is a chance for new people to learn more about editing.

Music is a multidimensional experience. How can we encode this experience into the web?

I am interested in music visualization and the development of music related software for research and pedagogy. This began with the creation of the Cyclochromatophone, a personal project and non-notational teaching tool for music by combining elements of proportion and synesthesia. Since then I have begun two new projects in music visualization: a jazz teaching tool collaboration with a faculty member in the Harvard Department of Music, and an interactive website called quoModo that will teach the musical modes.

I propose this session in an effort to discuss, brainstorm, or even code with other music enthusiasts who are interested in music visualization and software, and to gauge interest in the creation of a local music visualization/software developers group. I encourage anyone to join in the discussion regardless of technical skill level, and if there is enough interest I will cater the session around the interests of the group.
