Digital Prank

Can you believe that you can compress a music file 1000 times smaller than mp3? Rochester university says ‘yes’ you can do it. Researchers from Rochester university which is one of the recognized private University in New York are able to reproduce and compress a music file nearly 1000 times smaller than the original one. They are able to encode a 20 second clarinet solo music to a molecular size of 1kb recreating in a computer both the real-world physics of a clarinet and the physics of a clarinet player. The achievement was disclosed on April 1st at International Conference on Signal Processing and Acoustics speech at Las Vegas.

Nobody can deny the fact that this invention will take the world to the new dimension of audio recreation reproducing some of the great performers of all times. We need to wait and watch that. The researches agreed that the recreation of the music is not a lossless one but they are getting close to that. “This is essentially a human-scale system of reproducing music,” says Mark Bocko, professor of electrical and computer engineering and co-creator of the technology.
