[dorkbotatl-announce] reminder: tonight @ 7 pm, dorkbot art and technology forum

[Jason Freeman]

The Atlanta chapter of Dorkbot, the international forum dedicated to  
art, technology, and "people doing strange things with electricity,"  
holds its first meeting of 2008 next Wednesday, January 16th, at 7 pm  
in the Couch Building, room 207/209.

Full information is available at:

The meeting features composer Nick Didkovsky presenting MetaSection  
Piece Generator, a program that composes music for live ensemble. Nick  
will discuss and demonstrate his unique approach to algorithmic  
composition, joining us via videoconference from New York. (Next  
month, you'll have a chance to hear Nick's piece, Rain on a Frail  
Cutie, performed at Georgia Tech on Sonic Generator's February 12th  
concert.)

Nick is a truly unique musician: he plays guitar in his avant-rock  
septet, Doctor Nerve; he has written music for the Bang on a Can All- 
Starts and the California EAR Unit; he is the developer of the Java  
Music Specification Language (JMSL); he has created a number of  
compelling interactive music applications on the web; and he is  
director of bioinformatics for the Gensat project at Rockefeller  
University. We hope you'll join us for this wonderful opportunity to  
learn more about Nick's music and his compositional process.

Dorkbot-atl, which is free and open to the public, is sponsored by the  
Music Department in the College of Architecture at Georgia Tech.
