This talk is about breaking down songs to their constituent bits, as we delve deep into the world of audio recognition through the lens of audio fingerprinting.
Through visuals and explanations, we explore the physical and mathematical interpretations of audio signals, and how these interpretations allow for the development of audio search algorithms that make apps like Shazam possible. We also bring theory to life with a live demonstration of a Shazam-inspired program that applies audio fingerprinting techniques to the identification of songs picked up from a microphone.

Whether you're a music or tech enthusiast, or simply curious about the magic behind the music, this talk promises to be an unforgettable sonic journey where we unravel the mysteries of audio recognition and discover the hidden symphonies lurking within every melody.
