The Shelemay Sound Media Lab serves the Harvard Music Department’s faculty and students, providing assistance with faculty coursework, graduate dissertations and research, as well as undergraduate theses in music and other projects.
The SSML is a space to edit and review digital multimedia projects using stereo and ≤5.1 configurations, as well as listen to a wide range of music recorded in multiple analogue and digital formats using its collection of modern and legacy audio equipment.
We host a number of workshops and listening events throughout the academic year. These workshops feature various external guests, Harvard staff or faculty presenting on a large number of ‘sound media’ topics.
The lab also supports the creation of sound media recordings by providing a wide range of audio-recording and production equipment to Harvard affiliates.
