Sponsored by the DEI Committee and CCS Community Council, we have another entry to our Non-Academic Lecture Series this quarter! This lecture series hosts various CCS faculty, staff, and students to talk about their hobbies, niche interests, and everything in-between.

Sound Transformed is a senior recital by Cameron Kennedy '26 (CCS Music Composition) featuring the use of purely digitally composed music. Inspired by various tools a composer can use when crafting music with technology, Cameron has created an original set for the evening combining both organically and digitally created sounds. Progressing from purely organic sounds to a musical collage of splicing, reverb, and MIDI effects, we hope attendees will be inspired to combine a wider range of sounds within their own music.
