>>50 years ...
>>============================
>>
>>Daniel Teruggi / Groupe de Recherches Musicales
>>Around New York City, November 17 - 23
>>New York City, Harvestworks, November 21
>>
>>On October 5, 1948, Pierre Schaeffer broadcast the Concert de Bruits
>>(Concert of Noises) from Radiodiffusion Francaise in Paris. The event, the
>>first public presentation of what Schaeffer called "musique concrete," was
>>significant because it marked the official opening up of music to all
>>sounds.
>>
>>          -=-=-=-=-
>>          Want the whole story of musique concrete? Read this book:
>>          http://www.cdemusic.org/books/chadabe.electrics.html
>>
>>1998 is the 50th anniversary year of musique concrete. It has been
>>celebrated in numerous festivals, mostly in Europe. At EMF, we thought we
>>should do something to celebrate it in the US. So we invited Daniel
>>Teruggi, current director of the Groupe de Recherches Musicales in Paris
>>(GRM), to demonstrate recent work including a new version of GRM Tools (a
>>major digital signal processing software package) at several colleges and
>>universities in the New York area. Between November 17 and 23, Teruggi will
>>visit Wesleyan University, Dartmouth College, Vassar College, Bennington
>>College, and Princeton University.
>>
>>On November 21, Teruggi will demonstrate and discuss GRM technology at
>>Harvestworks in New York City, which will mark the first event of an
>>ongoing collaboration between EMF and Harvestworks. Our idea is to bring
>>technology developers together with a small group of composers in a
>>by-invitation-only series of informative and pleasurable encounters. If you
>>would like to be invited to this event, and/or if you would like to be on
>>the invitation list for future events of this kind, let us know:

>>============================
>>IRCAM in December
>>============================
>>
>>If you're in Paris in December, go to IRCAM. You'll be three times
fascinated.
>>
>>#1: IRCAM Forum
>>December 8 - 10
>>Twice per year, the IRCAM Forum organizes 3-day workshops to discuss
>>software developed at IRCAM and to provide a framework for members of the
>>Forum to present their own work.
>>
>>          mailto:admin-forum at ircam.fr
>>          http://www.ircam.fr/forum/
>>
>>In general, we recommend that you look seriously into the IRCAM Forum. The
>>meetings are useful and interesting. But there's more. Download jMax, for
>>example, a realtime software signal processing system with a basic set of
>>DSP libraries and documentation. And then bear in mind that a full-featured
>>version, including more complete documentation, support, tutorials and an
>>extensive set of IRCAM librairies and patches, is available to members of
>>the Forum ... not to mention the CD-ROMs and other membership benefits.
>>
>>          http://www.ircam.fr/jmax/
>>
>>While you're at it, look at the IRCAM MSP download site.
>>
>>          http://www.ircam.fr/msp
>>
>>#2: Conference on Human-Computer Interfaces
>>December 11 - 12
>>This conference is a collaboration between IRCAM and Groupe de Recherches
>>Musicales (GRM) and it is, at least in part, a celebration of the 50th year
>>of musique concrete. Musique concrete posed important questions of how
>>composers can work with sound. Now the question is: How can composers work
>>with computers? The participants will include Daniel Teruggi, Hugues Vinet,
>>Jean-Claude Risset, Claude Cadoz, Xavier Rodet, Philippe Manoury, Emmanuel
>>Favreau, Yann Orlarey, Gerard Assayag, Tristan Murail and many other
>>composers and researchers.
>>
>>#3: Second ESPRIT - CIUDAD meeting
>>On December 12, following the IRCAM / GRM conference, the second CIUDAD
>>meeting will take place with presentations on the Studio Online Project,
>>sound navigation, digital audio standards, and other subjects.
>>

>>Meteorite through a small structure visible above ground and descend into a
>>vast, multi-storied cavern with ramps and walkways leading to a series of
>>brightly colored, geometric chambers."
