Some places are still available for the Methods Network funded seminar on:

INTERACTIVITY IN THE PERFORMANCE OF ELECTROACOUSTIC MUSIC  at the Humanities
Research Institute, University of Sheffield on 13 December 2007.  

This seminar will spotlight how recent changes in both hardware and software
have opened up an undefined middle ground, between the fully fixed work and
a 'laptop generation/IRCAM school' work. This affords an unprecedented
opportunity for the electroacoustic composer and has enabled the
composer/performer of electroacoustic music to take a much more active role
in the presentation/construction of their works in live contexts.

Discussions will focus upon: the composer as performer; performance
interfaces; notation; sound diffusion; logistics of performance and publication.

This seminar will offer a roundup of activity in this area including a
number of examples by key practitioners as well as open and highly
speculative discussion featuring a real-time presentation of an
improvisation and performance tool as part of a small and informal concert.

The seminar should be of interest to composers and performers, especially if
computer manipulation and interactivity in performance feature in their work.
