COLORTS ECHOOL OF MUSIC COMPOSITION PROGRAM (BFA, MFA) EXPERIMENTAL SOUND PRACTICES (MFA) MULTI-FOCUS MUSIC TECHNOLOGIES (BFA)
TODAY'S MUSIC WORLD OFFERS A WIDE ARRAY OF COMPOSITIONAL TOOLS FOR ARTISTS
interested in exploring uncharted sonic domains. Increasingly, forward-looking composers and sound artists are turning to new forms emerging through sound installation, the digital studio, improvisation, interactive multimedia and acoustic experimentation-all of which are important additions to traditional compositional practices. More and more advanced music- makers are able to traverse, and use to their artistic benefit, the traditional categorical oppositions between instrumental and electronic, digital and analog, theory and practice.
Since its founding, the School of Music has been recognized as a leading center for contemporary composition. In keeping with this legacy, the Composition Program's faculty features internationally acclaimed composers who cultivate a vibrant environment for intensive learning and bold experimentation.

If, as Marshall McLuhan so famously suggested, the medium is the message, then the gizmo must be the one-liner. From baroque violinists to laptoppers, sound artists have long fetishized the tools of their trade, the mere naming of which can provoke an instant reaction: Shout "LA-2A," "TR-808," '"JTM45" or "Tube Screamer" in a room full of musicians, and you will notice the eyes brighten, the breath shorten and the anecdotes pour forth. But only to a point: Many a "secret weapon" is held close to the chest.
This is the chance to get that secret off your chest: LMJ 17 will address the significance of physical objects in music and sound art in a time of increasing emphasis on software and file exchange. We are soliciting papers (2,000-5,000 words) and briefer artists' statements (500-1,000 words) on the role of purchased or homemade instruments, effects boxes, pieces of studio gear, "bent" toys, self-built circuits, and so on, in
your work as a composer, performer, artist, producer, recording engineer, etc. Wherever possible, please include photographs of your subjects (300 ppi TIFFs preferred).
DEADLINES
1 January 2007: Final texts and all materials to the LMJ Editorial Office.
Check out the LMJ web site for a variety of materials of interest to readers, authors and music lovers! Visit
