These are the works you’ll be analyzing this semester. They’re all fixed media, so you can focus on the aesthetics of the pure visuals and sound without thinking about the performative aspects for now.

National Student Electronic Music Event (NSEME) Comes to Texas for Spring Break
Since several students brought this up, I thought I’d share it with all of you. 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.
