Phil Burk ---------------------------------------------------------------- MASTER OF SCIENCE IN MUSIC TECHNOLOGY AT GEORGIA TECH The Music Department at Georgia Tech in Atlanta is pleased to announce a new Master of Science degree in Music Technology. Its objective is to provide students with the practical skills and theoretical understanding needed to be leaders in the design, development, and creative implementation of music technology products and services in the coming decades. The program currently offers a concentration in Computer Music Research and Engineering, focusing on the design and development of novel enabling music technologies. This two-year, full-time interdisciplinary degree program is conducted in close collaboration with other leading programs at Georgia Tech, including Human Computer Interaction, Electrical Engineering, Industrial Design, Interactive Digital Technology, and Mechanical Engineering. Applicants should have an undergraduate degree in Music, Computing, Engineering, or a related discipline, and they should demonstrate their musical background in performance, composition and/or theory, as well as basic skills in programming and/or engineering in order to be admitted to the program. Generous research assistantships and tuition waivers are available to select students. Applications for Fall semester 2007 are due March 1, 2007.

We're calling these "CMC f?n nites" and our intention is to provide a dorkbot-like forum for artists and musicians involved in technological improvisation. This first event will feature performances and talk by: PG (Terry Pender and Brad Garton, possible video enhancements by Luke Dubois) Sam Pluta (audio and video improvisations) Nick Didkovsky (improvisational pieces by Dr. Nerve!) Please come to join us! We will be in the main space of the third floor of Prentis Hall, 632 W. 125th Street (just off Broadway).
