Simple Harmonic Motion, or SHM, is Worcester Polytechnic Institute's best (and only) all-male a cappella group. Founded in 1982 under the name Baker's Dozen, SHM changed its name in 1994 to the more fitting (and nerdy) Simple Harmonic Motion. Despite its tech school pedigree, SHM has a long and proud history of musicality and personality. When together, the group not only makes a profound sound, but knows how to have a good time on road trips, retreats, and overnight gigs. SHM is usually found shaking its groove thing, finding something to pumpkin, eating massive quantities of snacks, or maybe even learning a new song.

Simple Harmonic Motion is available for private functions and parties, collegiate performances, high-school and middle-school a capella and vocal workshops, as well as public performances of all kinds. Take a look at our contact page to get in touch with us or book us for a performance.

¤ WPI Activities Fair

Wednesday, August 26th

The summer's finally over, and it's time for more learning (boo.) and more acappella (yay!). If you're a freshman on the WPI campus, come find SHM at the activities fair from 3pm - 5pm and talk to us. We'll be the ones singing without any instruments (imagine that).

¤ SHM at BU!

Saturday, April 25th

As is standard with SHM's excursions, we managed to find a computer on the BU campus that was open to the public. Here's to a good performance with BU's Aural Fixation!

¤ ACFest aftermath

Monday, April 6th, 2009

It's been more than a week, and SHM is finally coming down from the excitement of ACFest. We can't thank everyone who performed, attended, or helped us enough. Our CD is now officially out and will be available from this site later this week. Also, SHM has a number of gigs upcoming, so check the performances page. We aren't done yet!


Vital Sines (finally) Released! - Monday, April 6th, 2009

After two years of work and effort, Simple Harmonic Motion has finally put out its' first studio-recored album: Vital Sines. Despite the long ordeal, we could not be more proud of the CD. Check out the demo tracks in the music player, or go to the store to order the CD!

Special thank-you to SGA, JC, JFD, MC, JR, and WPI.
