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. The CIARM95's official languages are Italian and English. Potential participants intending to present a contributed paper must send an abstract of no more than 200 words to the Conference Secretariat before 15 November 1994.

Where does one check out EM? ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 23 Sep 1994 14:50:23 -0400 From: Anthony Hotz 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. A.F.

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. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 23 Sep 1994 17:08:05 -0500 From: Arne Claassen ISE Subject: Re: Music Resource Guide on the Internet > A note of interest.

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? -- Arne F.

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. Arne Claassen ISE jotteth.... > >> A note of interest. The latest issue of Electronic Musician lists a >> "complete" resource guide for info and shareware on the internet.

And while synth-l made it on the list, emusic-l did not (at >least when i scanned it). Good or bad? You decide... 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! >On a somewhat (well only minimally) related note: > In the same EM is an add for the new Lexicon PCM-80.

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

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. <...my first recital in 13 years...I think I'll wear some "Depends" adult diapers for the occasion :) > Harry Haecker (bthaec@lsuvm.sncc.lsu.edu) ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 26 Sep 1994 13:10:49 -0500 From: "Deborah A. Clark (by way of xrjdm@farside.gsfc.nasa.gov Joe McMahon)" 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. Deborah Clark ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 26 Sep 1994 11:25:27 PDT From: "Guy E.
