Time capsules offer the unique opportunity to capture a snapshot of an era while imagining possible futures, and it's exciting to have music research be a part of the conversation. After 200 years of trail-blazing research and innovation, 平特五不中 continues to look ahead in this unique project. 听
to find out about the possibilities of听immersive audio听and how interdisciplinary research will continue advancing听our听understanding of how music works. 听
Prof de Francisco also joined BBC Radio 3 for their programme 鈥,鈥 an exploration of the stories that matter, the people that matter and the music that matters. The includes a听look at female sound engineers and record producers 鈥 a role traditionally associated with men. 听

Though we find ourselves in a digital age where time capsules no longer need to be buried underground but can instead be concealed in the virtual cloud 鈥 they can still be sealed up! Be sure to watch the predictions from researchers across campus before the time capsule is shut tight on December 31, 2021, only reopening slowly over the next 10 years.听听
