The festival, a gathering of the 15 Atlantic Coast Conference institutions, celebrates creative exploration and research at the nexus of science, engineering, art, and design. The two projects featured by School of Music Students were FaceSynth and Sound Happening.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EFaceSynth is an interactive audio exhibit that allows visitors to \u0026ldquo;play\u0026rdquo; an analog synthesizer with their facial expressions. FaceSynth was created by Bachelor of Music Technology students Carter Culwell and Daniel Kuntz, and was also a runner up project at the \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/guthman.gatech.edu\/2018-moog-hackathon\u0022\u003E2018 Moog Hackathon\u003C\/a\u003E. Sound Happening is a playful music-making installation where participants interact with balls while standing underneath a webcam that tracks the motion of the balls. The installation acts as an invisible keyboard where participants trigger tones depending on where they stand and the color of the ball, creating unique soundscapes. Ph.D. in Music Technology candidate Richard Savery contributed to this project.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ETo learn more about the projects and festival, read the whole article here: http:\/\/arts.gatech.edu\/content\/tech-goes-accelerate-smithsonian-creativity-and-innovation-festival?utm_medium=email\u0026amp;utm_source=dailydigest\u0026amp;utm_campaign=apr3\u0026amp;utm_content=accsmith\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Two projects featuring School of Music students will be featured at the Smithsonian Creativity Fest"}],"uid":"28750","created_gmt":"2019-04-03 17:10:34","changed_gmt":"2019-04-03 17:10:34","author":"Joshua Smith","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2019-04-03T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2019-04-03T00:00:00-04:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"619834":{"id":"619834","type":"image","title":"Tech goes to ACCelerate: Smithsonian Creativity and Innovation Festival","body":null,"created":"1553885507","gmt_created":"2019-03-29 18:51:47","changed":"1553885507","gmt_changed":"2019-03-29 18:51:47","alt":"Light Orchard - over two dozen light stations allow for both touch input and visual output.
