 Call for Papers and Conference Activities

      The 2nd International Conference on Acoustics and Musical Research will
 be held in Ferrara (Italy), during the 3rd Week of May 1995. CIARM95 follows
 the  1st  Conference on "Acoustics and Recovery of Spaces for Music" held in
 Ferrara in October 1993.
      The  main  topics at CIARM95 will be auralization, sound spatialization
 and  acoustics  of  virtual environments. Other topics concerning particular
 social  and  economic aspects such as hearing aids in musical and theatrical
 spaces  and  restoration  of  audio  material, of musical instruments and of
 spaces  for  music,  are classified as "hot topics" and will be treated in a
 round table discussion.
      Interdisciplinary  aspects  linking  scientific  and technical problems
 with  final listening to music and/or musical compositions are of particular
 interest   at   CIARM95.  Thus,  contributions  from  Acoustics,  Audiology,
 Architecture,  Audio  Engineering,  Computer  Science as well as from Music,
 Musicology and Psychology etc. will be expected and welcome.
      The Conference will be structured in traditional scientific sessions on
 main  topics,  which will consist in the presentation of specialized invited
 lectures   and   contributed  papers.  Hot  topics,  for  which  traditional
 conference  sessions may not be suitable, will be treated as poster sessions
 including an introductory lecture and open debates.
      The  Conference  will  be  organized in the context of an International
 Exhibition  of Classical Music where technical as well as commercial aspects
 related  with  production and organization of music, musical instruments and
 new musical technologies, will be shown.

Subject:      LISTSERV list information home page

I've set up a World Wide Web home page for LISTSERV lists.  It
features handy "reference" pages with lists grouped along
certain topics, as well as a host of other information, such as
how to join, the # of members, whether the archives are open,
etc.  I'm posting this announcement here because the www site
has a page for Music.

Its URL is "http://www.clark.net/pub/listserv/listserv.html"
Use Mosaic, Lynx, WWW, Cello, etc. to view it.

LISTSERV lists for the following topics are represented:
Agriculture, Anthropology, Apple Computer, Art, Biology &
Chemistry, Business, Computers, Curricula, Database, Ecology,
Education, Food, Graphics, History, IBM, Internet & Bitnet, Law,
Library, Literature & Writing, Mathematics, Medicine, Music, PC
Software, Physics, Psychology & Philosophy, Religion, Science,
Teaching Institutions, Technology, Unix, and VMS & VM.

Here is what a typical entry looks like:

> Group name: FOODWINE
> Description: Discussion List for Food and Wine
> Members: 444
> Archive searching: for members only
> Who can join: anyone
> Country: USA
> Site: Central Michigan University, Mt. Pleasant, MI 48859

Subject:      Music Resource Guide on the Internet

A note of interest.  The latest issue of Electronic Musician lists a
"complete" resource guide for info and shareware on the internet.  I
haven't looked at it very carefully so I'm not sure how complete it is.
However, in general, EM does a pretty good job so I would check it out.

You can find it at most newstands that sell a variety of magazines - most
music stores sell them - some libraries subscribe.  It is one of the very
few periodicals I subscribe to - I recommend it.

It's not entirely complete, nor up to date (magazine lead times versus
internet dynamism) The EPS site and mailing list have moved from reed.edu,
for example. And while synth-l made it on the list, emusic-l did not (at
least when i scanned it). Good or bad? You decide...

On a somewhat (well only minimally) related note:
        In the same EM is an add for the new Lexicon PCM-80. Should i just
assume that i can dream about buying an LXP-1 or LXP-5, but i should really
not waste alloted dream time with this machine. What is it going to cost?

Subject:      Re: Music Resource Guide on the Internet

This letter is skirting the boundaries between EMUSIC-L and SYNTH-L,
as it has to do with both groups to some extent. I am crossposting it
to both groups, but urge strongly that ALL mail be directed to SYNTH-L
after this! Read the headers; you should get two copies of this letter
if you subscribe to both groups, and you should only reply to the one
with the SYNTH-L header. If you don't read both groups, you should
think hard about doing so; they complement each other in terms of
subject matter, and not wanting to read SYNTH-L is not an excuse for
raising SYNTH-L topics on EMUSIC-L. Thank you.

GOOD! There's a lot of discussion on MOD files, computer cards,
effects boxes, and so on, going on on EMUSIC-L, that really belongs on
SYNTH-L right now. I urge all readers to please, PLEASE consider their
topics carefully before posting! I don't appreciate having to wade
through a lot of gearhead stuff getting to the next post in the
dodeca-cacaphony saga (i'm learning a lot; I never got closer to the
'12-tone elite' than Stravinsky). The concept of the vast majority of
EM's readership suddenly getting a pointer to EMUSIC-L is enough to
give me the shivers. EM has not served the sort of thoughtful inquiry
that goes on in EMUSIC-L since 1988 or so; I will always treasure my
earliest EM issues, with their interviews with Pierre Henry and Pierre
Shaffer, and so on, but I am rapidly deciding not to pursue the
magazine much longer, as its focus and emphases no longer appeal to me
and I do not seem to see eye to eye with its current readership.

Note to Jose Adan: Since you are new and are working against both a
foreign computer system and a foreign language, I can understand your
confusion.  But discussing the technical aspects of your guitar and
effects needs belongs on SYNTH-L, which you can subscribe to in the
same way you subscribed to EMUSIC-L. I urge you to move your line of
questions to that newsgroup, and for those who are helping you to do
the same. Muchas gracias!

This is the real reason this thread is moving to SYNTH-L; I want to
reply to this and can't on EMUSIC-L. See next message on SYNTH-L only.

Subject:      The AIDS Process...an announcement

Joe M. has said in the past that we are allowed *one* announcement of
an impending concert on this list; this is it for me (for quite a while):

On Sunday, October 16, the Baton Rouge Gallery's "Sundays at Four" series
will feature musician (and Friends for Life volunteer) Harry Haecker and
artist Scott Rose in "The AIDS Process."  The work will incorporate music,
dialogue, poetry, and ritual in an hour-long performance focusing on the
internal struggle of living with HIV/AIDS and societal perceptions of the
disease.

Haecker began work on the piece as a result of his friendships with persons
affected by HIV/AIDS and his activities with Friends for Life.  In explaining
the process he's used in composing music, "I've recorded quotes from
caregivers, from people living with AIDS, and from detractors of people
with AIDS and broken it down into samples.  I'll be able to trigger these
samples while I play my keyboard, creating music based on the emotional
content of the quotes."  He added, "I'm not only using electronics, but
also playing acoustic instruments."

The performance will also feature the work of a poet who is living with
AIDS, interpreted by actor Shannon Triche.

The Baton Rouge Gallery is located at the corner of Perkins and Dalrymple
in City Park.  The performance is scheduled for Sunday, October 16, 4-5
PM; admission is free and open to the public.

Subject:      Looking for sources

Hi, I'm not sure if I can post to a list without subscribing, but if I
can...here goes.

Apologies for being a journalist looking for sources on the net, but in
this case I think it's appropriate.

I'm doing a story for a local paper in the Bay Area about how the
internet has changed the way people are
composing/performing/discussing/etc. music.  If it has made an impact on
you as a musician, please email me directly.  I'm particularly interested
in people living in the Bay Area, so I can do good old-fashioned
interviews over the phone (as well as give my story a local slant), but
I'd appreciate any help with this.  Or a nudge in the right direction if
this isn't it.

Thanks.
