MTG becomes GTCMT

With new people, new funding and new collaborators, our group, the "Music Technology Group" has been changed to "Georgia Tech Center for Music Technology". I was fairly involved with the name selection process in the sense that me and my fellow lab mate Andrew Beck were involved with counting the votes that decided the center's name :) Some close competitor names were "Georgia Tech Music Labs", "Georgia Tech Music Research Center".

Meanwhile, each of the individual professors has a group for themselves now. Dr.Parag Chordia has named his group as "Music Intelligence Group". Should wait and see what names Dr.Gil Weinberg and Dr.Jason Freeman come up with.

Music Understanding Group (MUG) should be an interesting choice for someone based in Atlanta. :P
