When I reached out to the team after their 2 nd place finish in the hacking competition, they were surprised that fair use had anything at all to do with their work. Or, as I like to think of it, musical fair use magic!

Once you’ve selected how much easier to make the piece, then the magic happens! After quickly processing it through an OMR engine ( optical music recognition), users get the new version of the piece to download and perform for their own study and personal use. While simplifying the left hand makes it easier to play, it also allows for harmonic analysis of piano music, which can be beneficial for music theory students or anyone who might want to learn more about arranging and improvising. They can eliminate all 16 th notes so that they don’t need to play as fast, simplify the left hand, or turn the left hand playing all into chord blocks.

The premise behind Semplice is, well, simple: a user uploads their copy of their favorite piano piece that is too hard to play, and chooses how to make it easier.
Semplice, their music simplification engine, allows anyone to take their favorite piece of music and make it easier to play without losing what they love about the piece. As serious amateur musicians, they wanted to develop a project that made music more accessible for musicians who were still developing their chops and might find sitting down at the keyboard to play their favorite music intimidating. Students created electronic instruments for beginners, developed games to help students with beat-deafness (it’s a thing!), and, to my delight, made music more accessible with fair use!Īnkur Kejriwal, Dylan Lewis, and Winston Wu are students who, during their day jobs, study engineering and computer science. The second Peabody Institute annual hackathon brought to life a slew of interesting projects in January 2020 focusing on music and accessibility. The event also allows students to meet guest artists like Laetitia Sonami and Suzanne Kite, whose work challenges ideas of being, femininity, relationships with artificial intelligence, and embodiment of digital sound and physical bodies. We encourage novice attendees, try to foster collaborations between engineering and music students, and focus more on process and experimentation than sophisticated final projects. When you put music, technology, and one sleepless night in a blender, how do you end up with fair use? This year, some students at Johns Hopkins helped us figure that out!Ī new annual tradition at the Peabody Institute, PeabodyHacks invites students to spend 24 hours experimenting and developing projects at the cross section of music and technology.
