This year, the National Student Electronic Music Event (NSEME) is going to be hosted at the Unversity of North Texas in Denton (a 3.5 hour drive from College Station, north of Dallas/Ft. Worth), Friday–Saturday, March 9–10, 2018. They’ll have two concerts Friday evening, papers Saturday morning, then three more concerts, all student works from around the country. The guest artist will be Carla Scaletti, known for creating the Kyma sound design environment. She’s also become involved with addressing data sonification and making music from scientific data.
