Susan Rogers to deliver keynote at AES New York 2022 Convention

The Audio Engineering Society (AES) has announced that Susan Rogers will deliver the Thursday, October 20 Keynote at the AES New York 2022 Audio Engineering Convention.

Sharing her perspectives as a producer/engineer, audio technician, author, educator and researcher, Rogers’ presentation, “This Is What It Sounds Like: A New Model of Music Cognition”, will give insights into a new model of music cognition that focusses on the “listener profile” - the constellation of individualized preferences mapped to an array of musical and aesthetic dimensions to create a better understanding of our own unique auditory experience. “Before we become expert music makers, we must become expert listeners”, says Rogers. “Learning where the sweet spots reside on your unique ‘listener profile’ will deepen your relationship with the music you love.”

Rogers, a professor of cognitive neuroscience with a doctoral degree in experimental psychology from McGill University, is widely known for her work with Prince during the mid-1980s, along with a roster of artists including David Byrne, Barenaked Ladies, Geggy Tah, Nil Lara, Robben Ford, Tricky, Michael Penn and Jeff Black. Her Keynote address will explore the ties between musical and aesthetic dimensions of our listening, as well as the science behind our musical preferences and what may be inferred about us as creators and consumers of audio.

Rogers’ impact on the industry continued through her professorship at Berklee College of Music, where she taught psychoacoustics and record production in the department of Music Production & Engineering, and she became the first female recipient of the Music Producers Guild Award for Outstanding Contributions to U.K. Music in 2021. Most recently Rogers has coauthored a book with neuroscientist Ogi Ogas on her keynote topic: “This Is What It Sounds Like: What the Music You Love Says About You”, slated for release in September 2022.

Rogers’ full abstract for her Keynote address, along with a listing of confirmed sessions covering a comprehensive range of topics and presenter names, is now posted at the AES New York 2022 website with more details to follow soon. The AES New York 2022 Convention will be held as an in-person event on October 19-20, with additional training opportunities on October 18 and Tech Tours and Networking events on October 21. On October 26-27, the online event will bring its own separately curated program of workshops and papers to a world-wide audience. The Convention will once again be collocated with NAB Show New York with a shared exhibits space.
