MICHAEL CUTHBERT: Hello
OpenCourseWare learners.

00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:16.190 align:middle line:84%
My name is Michael Cuthbert,
and I'm the professor of a class

00:00:16.190 --> 00:00:22.700 align:middle line:84%
at MIT 21M.383 Computational
Music Theory and Analysis.

00:00:22.700 --> 00:00:26.480 align:middle line:84%
I'm so glad that you're going
to be joining us in this course.

00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:31.850 align:middle line:84%
And it's just absolutely
great to have people learning

00:00:31.850 --> 00:00:36.170 align:middle line:84%
about how computers can help
understand music, and especially

00:00:36.170 --> 00:00:39.620 align:middle line:84%
music theory, from
throughout the world.

00:00:39.620 --> 00:00:43.470 align:middle line:84%
I'm making this recording, about
a year after the class is done,

00:00:43.470 --> 00:00:47.930 align:middle line:84%
to welcome you and to say
a few things along the way

00:00:47.930 --> 00:00:49.260 align:middle line:90%
throughout the class.

00:00:49.260 --> 00:00:51.304 align:middle line:84%
The first thing I
wanted to let you know

00:00:51.304 --> 00:00:54.900 align:middle line:84%
is we had some technical
difficulties on the first day,

00:00:54.900 --> 00:00:57.860 align:middle line:84%
and so you'll see that
the lecture of begins

00:00:57.860 --> 00:00:59.630 align:middle line:90%
a few minutes in.

00:00:59.630 --> 00:01:04.250 align:middle line:84%
And that the video quality,
especially of the PowerPoints

00:01:04.250 --> 00:01:08.120 align:middle line:84%
and my live coding,
isn't up to the quality

00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:09.240 align:middle line:90%
we would like to have.

00:01:09.240 --> 00:01:12.480 align:middle line:84%
So I'm going to be rerecording
a few things here and there.

00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:14.790 align:middle line:84%
And when you see me
looking like this,

00:01:14.790 --> 00:01:19.080 align:middle line:84%
this is something that's made
just for you on OpenCourseWare.

00:01:19.080 --> 00:01:21.230 align:middle line:84%
I'll come back and talk
to you from time to time.

00:01:21.230 --> 00:01:24.790 align:middle line:84%
For now, hope you
enjoy the class.
