Subject:      Rochester resources ?

I'll be traveling to Rochester (NY) later this week to visit "Montage '93",
and am looking for any suggestions of music stores to visit while there
(new and/or used midi hardware/software).

Thanks for any tips.

The Society for Electro-Acoustic Music in the United States (SEAMUS)
announces its 1994 National Conference to be hosted by the Department
of Music at Middlebury College in Middlebury, Vermont.

= = = = = = = CALL FOR PAPER PRESENTATIONS & PANELS = = = = = = =

SEAMUS is announcing a call for papers and panel discussions to be
presented during the conference.  This call is open to all residents
of the United States, and is not restricted to SEAMUS members.

Papers may be on any topic relating to Electro-Acoustic Music
including but not limited to the following:
        interactive performance systems
        electro-acoustic music and performance ethics and aesthetics

Participants must submit an abstract of no more than 500 words
describing the nature of the presentation, including any technical
resources that will be needed.

Panel sessions should be proposed using the same format.

DEADLINE:

All paper/panel presentation submissions must arrive at the following
address no later than Friday, September 3, 1993:

        SEAMUS 1994 Paper/Panel Selection Committee
        Professor Jon Appleton
        Department of Music - Hopkins Center
        Dartmouth College
        Hanover, New Hampshire 03755


= = = = = = = = = = = CALL FOR SCORES AND TAPES = = = = = = = = = = =

SEAMUS is announcing a call for musical works to be presented during
the conference.  This call is open to all residents of the United
States, and is not restricted to SEAMUS members.  Submissions are
judged by blind audition and are selected for the conference strictly
on quality of work and feasability of performance.  Preference will
be given to works shorter than 14 minutes in length.

Music Submission Guidelines:

Composers may submit works of any genre or style in the following
categories: (A)     Music for tape
        (B)     Music for performer(s) and tape
                (including interactive performance)
        (C)     Music videos

SEAMUS strongly encourages student composers to submit works for
consideration.  Student works will be considered by the music
committee separately, and special recognition will be given to works
displaying unusual talent and/or significant potential.

All composers may submit one work per category.  Submissions by
SEAMUS members are without cost.  Submissions by non-members must
include a $5.00 submission fee for each work.  SEAMUS members may
submit more than one work per category if accompanied by a $5.00
submission fee per additional entry.  All submission fees are
non-refundable.  Checks should be made out to SEAMUS.

Each work submitted in categories A & B, must be recorded on a
cassette tape (one work per tape), preferably with Dolby B NR.
Scores for works in category B must have all appearances of the
composer's name blocked out or erased.  Works submitted in category C
must be recorded on VHS Hi-Fi.  Submission materials will only be
returned if accompanied by a self-addressed stamped envelope (SASE).

Please include specific technical requirements needed for the
presentation of submitted works.  The conference will be responsible
for all sound and video diffusion resources.  While the conference
will assist in providing additional technical resources (i.e.,
computers, synthesizers), composers will be ultimately responsible
for any additional technical needs.

DEADLINE:

All submissions must include the following application form.
Incomplete submissions or submissions which do not adhere to the
preceding guidelines may not be considered.  All materials must
arrive at the following address no later than Friday, September 3,
1993:

        SEAMUS 1994 Music Committee
        Professor George Todd
        Department of Music
        Middlebury College
        Middlebury, VT  05753
