Britten Sinfonia Nico Muhly Electronics Workshop

Dear Students, a friend from St. John’s College asked me to invite my students to this event. Below is the description and a link to the facebook event page.

On 5th of Feb, at 11am, Nico Muhly will talk about composing music with live and pre-recorded elements. It’ll be aimed particularly at those new to electroacoustic composition, but’ll be interesting for all. Jonathan Green – sound technician with BCMG and Sound Intermedia, amongst others – will also be on hand to answer any questions or discuss ideas.

In the second half of the morning, Nico will be *WORKSHOPPING STUDENT COMPOSITIONS*. These compositions can be entirely pre-recorded or involve acoustic and electronic elements, can be in any genre, but must not be longer than 5 minutes. Four pieces will be chosen for the workshop. To submit compositions, email Joe Snape < jfs41@cam.ac.uk> with your name, contact details, sound file and scores (if applicable) attached. Write a short description of/commentary on the work if you feel it’s necessary.

The workshop will take place at the West Road music faculty:

  1. The facebook group states the times as being 16:00 to 18:00. I’m assuming this is wrong due to the start of the second paragraph. I hope to attend and will submit a track or two for the ‘workshopping’. However i’m not sure exactly what you mean by ‘workshopping student compositions’. Could you elaborate please?

  3. workshopping means that your piece gets played by the musicians and/or playback and you get feedback comments from Nico Muhly who leads the workshop.

    From what I can see, I believe they may be wanting for people to submit stuff that can be played with live players… I think your laptop quartet from LapTopMus would be great for this…
