Portfolio
•Three work samples demonstrating the breadth and depth of your interests in music and technology — diverse works are highly recommended over multiple variations of one piece
•Sample 1: a video recorded as if performing at a live audition, approximately 3 minutes — speak your full name, the date, and the program on camera (no subtitles or text overlays); show your full body or at minimum your upper body and face; any musical style on any instrument (original or cover); a pre-recorded backing track is acceptable but the performance must be a continuous, unedited live take; multi-instrumentalists may use a split-screen format for a continuous simultaneous performance
•Samples 2 and 3: audio, video, document, music score, or website link highlighting skills in music, music technology, or STEM — ideas include original compositions or recordings, software you have programmed, or hardware and circuits you have built; website submissions upload a PDF with clickable direct links to the specific pages or tracks to review. Maximum file size is 5GB per upload (or provide a link to an external website hosting your work); title each file NYU Music Technology Sample #[number]: [Your Name], [Date]
Statement
•Portfolio description and provenance disclosure as a PDF, listing each sample with a short description of its content and your roles (composer, performer, producer, engineer, or programming languages/circuits used)
•Must explicitly address four pillars for Samples 2 and 3: source materials and asset attribution, transformative originality, AI-assisted tool disclosure, and a statement of authorship — generative text-to-audio tools are strictly prohibited, and assistive AI tools (smart equalizers, automated mastering) must be explicitly disclosed
Resume
•Separate open-format PDF highlighting creative accomplishments, STEM achievements, community involvement, and music/technology work or internship experience
