NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY COMPUTER MUSIC CENTER
DREAM MACHINES FOR COMPUTER MUSIC
A meeting dedicated to issues of hardware for computer music in honor of John
Pierce's 80th birthday.
On November 15th-16th, 1990, Northwestern University will host a meeting
dedicated to the topic "future dream machines for creating computer music".
At present most machines are built by commercial companies with the average
commercial consumer in mind. Few machines are being built with considerations
for the academic and artistic communities and those, take into account only
present day technologies with emphasis on replicating existing musical ideals.
Visionary ideas, which have put the technological world as well as the computer
music world several steps ahead, such as the IRCAM 4X and Stanford's Sambox,
are not being discussed anymore. This meeting hopefully will bring the
initiative at suggesting new ideas back into the academic community.
Invited participants will include Richard Ashley, Chris Chafe, John Chowning,
Johannes Goebel, Gary Kendall, Max Mathews, James Anderson Moorer, John Pierce,
Miller Puckette, Jean-Claude Risset, Xavier Rodet, David Wessel, David
Zacarelli.
Each of the invited participants wil present a short paper on the topic,
followed by a round table discussion.
First session will start on the 15th at noon, and the meeting will end on
the 16th at 2 pm.
On the 15th there will be a concert of tape pieces honoring John Pierce
featuring composers: Clarence Barlow, Luciano Berio, John Chowning, Charles
Dodge, Paul Lansky, Dexter Morril, Jean-Claude Risset, Amnon Wolman.
