[Jason Freeman]

Hi all,

Our next dorkbot meeting on Thursday, March 8th at 7 pm will return  
to the Couch Building and welcome special guest Frank Gratkowski, who  
will give a presentation titled "Articulations: Music for saxophones,  
clarinets, and technology." Immediately following dorkbot, Gratkowski  
will be giving a free performance (also in the Couch Building)  
sponsored by the Music Technology Group at Georgia Tech. Please mark  
your calendars now so you can join us for this special event.

I also wanted to let you know about another special event coming up.  
On Saturday, March 3rd, the College of Architecture will host a  
symposium on music technology (full details below). We hope you can  
attend this free event; if you do want to come, please register by  
February 20th.

Hope to see you both on March 3rd and March 8th!

Symposium Announcement:

Changing Tunes: Expanding Music through Technology

Saturday, March 3, 2007, Georgia Tech Campus

  The 2007 Dean’s Symposium on the Changing Nature of Practice titled  
CHANGING TUNES:  Expanding Music through Technology will focus on  
emerging developments in music technology that promise to  
revolutionize musical performance, composition, analysis, and  
education. Organized in cooperation with the Music Department, which  
begins a new Master of Science degree in Music Technology in 2007,  
scholars and practitioners will discuss ideas and demonstrate  
developments in areas ranging from new interfaces for musical  
expression and algorithmic composition to music information  
retrieval, musical networks, and machine musicianship.

The symposium is jointly sponsored by the Georgia Tech College of  
Architecture and the College of Architecture Alumni Committee and  
organized by the College and its Music Department.   The Symposium  
will be held in the Klaus Advanced Computing Building from 9:00 a.m.
