The Future of Music Software - A Symposium

Symposium proceedings can now be read in Computer Music Journal, 26, 4, Winter 2002 (MIT Press)

October 19, 2001

Max MathewsAll events will take place in Faulkner Recital Hall, Hopkins Center.
The symposium is open to the public, and admission is free.

Computer music has been practiced since the late 1950s. In order to facilitate this branch of experimental music, many pieces of software have been written, either by composers or programmers sympathetic to creative exploration of music on computer. A remarkably small percentage of these programs has survived and developed a following among composers. The purpose of the symposium is to bring together creators of the most significant software for experimental music creation, to examine the success of their programs and underlying creative paradigms, and to look ahead to promising future directions.
