Question: Does anyone know of schools in the United Kingdom that offer research opportunities in Computer Music? I'm looking to do graduate studies at such a place. I'm sure that there probably is no degree scheme offered in pure computer music, but any info about hot spots for interdisciplinary work would be appreciated. Thanks, Brian Smith

I would be interested to have a reasonably complete list of the places all over the world which are involved in computer/music research. The best known (at least for me) are the media-lab at MIT and the IRCAM in Paris (Centre Pompidou). If you know more - please let me know! Thanks Joachim Fuchs (fuchsj@cernvm.cern.ch)

One is at The University of East Anglia (UK, but not exactly sure of the city). Dennis Smalley heads it. The other is in France, at Lyon I think. Unfortunately, I can't remember the name of the place or the name of the director, who often works at IRCAM. Someone else might be able to help me out here. Both these programs are fairly new. The East Anglia looks superb from a musical instruction standpoint, although I'm not sure what kind of facilities they have. The French one had a good composer heading it, and also had some very nice facilities (workstations, MIDI, direct-to-disk recording, etc.). These are the only degree-oriented programs that i know of. There are other studios that offer instruction, both private and group, and the chance to work on your own (IRCAM actually falls in to this category). Besides IRCAM, there is The Institute for Electro-acoustic Music in Sweden (Stockholm), The Royal Institute of Sonology in the Netherlands (The Hague?), and others. I forgot one educational one. The Technical University in Berlin has a computer music specific program. Keith Kothman Dept. of Music, UCSD
