Symposium On Music And Computers: Ionian University
Ionian University
Corfu, Greece
23-25 October 1998
The 1st Symposium on Music and Computers will be held at the island of Corfu in Greece. The symposium is organised by the Music Department of the Ionian University and the General Secretariat for Research and Technology.
Its main objective is to foster investigation of the impact of technology on musical thought and musical creativity. Computation and technology extend the boundaries of music creation and give rise to a multitude of new exciting possibilities; however, the interaction of such new methods with theoretical and aesthetic aspects of musical understanding seems to receive little attention. The aim of this symposium is to stimulate the exchange of ideas on the merits and also difficulties of bringing together musical creativity and computer-based technology.
Special attention will be given to the presentation of current directions in computer music research (theory and applications) to students, young composers and musicians. Additionally, special events dedicated to Greek pioneers of computer music will be hosted.
Researchers from any relevant discipline are invited to submit papers relating to the areas of interest presented below; the presentations of papers will be followed by extended discussions. Composers are invited to submit electroacoustic and/or interactive compositions.

I'm working at B�renreiter-Verlag and they have asked me to look in to possible multimedia products. I have a number of ideas, but I thought it would be interesting to see what the folks on the MTO-List thought. Is there anything that you see a crying need for? Anything where you've been thinking, "Why doesn't somebody offer this?" Textbooks? Reference works? Analyses / analytical tools?
B�renreiter is trying to decide if they are going to branch into interactive/multimedia publication and if so, to what degree and in which direction. Now is your chance to speak up for what you want.

EVENT: Asian Music in America: A Confluence of Two Worlds
HOST: Hamilton College, Clinton, NY, USA
DATE: April 10-11, 1999
DESCRIPTION:
Music of Asia, from both American and Asian composers and performers,
has gradually gained greater attention in the United States,
especially during the last 30 years. A number of Asian composers and
performers have immigrated to the US, often after studying here. The
music of these artists reflects a new confluence of multiple cultures
- a powerful cross-fertilization of aesthetics and musical
characteristics from both East and West. The music is reflective of a
variety of aspects of contemporary Asian and American societies, while
at the same time deeply rooted in traditional cultures that have
evolved over many years.
Hamilton College will host a two-day symposium of performances, lecture-recitals, panel discussions, and paper presentations on topics that concern Asian music in America from the widest possible range of disciplines and expertise. Three guest composers of international stature will be present at the symposium - P.Q. Phan (born in Vietnam and living in the US since 1980), Bun-Ching Lam (born in Hong Kong and living in the US since 1978), and Toshimitsu Tanaka (distinguished composer from Japan whose career spans almost 50 years).
Performances during the symposium will included a broad range of works for different genres (solo instrument, chamber music, orchestra) by Phan, Lam, and Tanaka, as well as other Asian composers. They will include the premiere of a new work for orchestra by Phan. The performers for these concerts will include members of the Syracuse Society for New Music, and faculty and students of the Hamilton College Department of Music. Two winners of an international performers competition of solo works by Phan, Lam or Tanaka will also be selected to perform.
This symposium (http://home.sprintmail.com/~emrichards/amia.html) is the fourth at Hamilton College since 1992 to address Asian Music. Visit the website of the other three to view programs, abstracts, papers, and lecture transcriptions - http://www.hamilton.edu/ACADEMIC/Music/erichards/musjapan.htm (Music of Japan Today: Tradition and Innovation I (1992), II (1994), and III (1997).
