Professor Wang is an Assistant professor at Stanford's Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA, pronounced as "Karma"), Department of Music, and Computer Science by Courtesy. He is also the CTO of the company, Smule. The iPad just came out this past weekend, and coincidentally in his first radio performance, Professor Wang kindly played several piano tracks using his iPad as an instrument. He also played pieces on his iPhone using the app, Ocarina. In this interview, Professor Wang talks of his work/love (they're one in the same) for music and computers. Professor Wang also talks about the Stanford Laptop Orchestra whose members include those from a seminar he teaches called, "Music 128" "CS 170." SLOrk will perform a free concert on Thursday April 29, 2010 at 8 p.m. Please check their website for information.
