The Center for New Music and Audio Technologies is pleased to be a partner in the Technologies of Notation and Representation (TENOR) Network and will be hosting related events at UC Berkeley in the 2019-20 academic year.
Alice is a four channel XR piece created by Media Artist Claudia Hart for exhibition with a Vive VR environment. This version was produced for The Transfer "Download," curated by Kelani Nichole, for a special presentation at Christie’s Rockefeller Plaza in conjunction with their ART + TECH Summit on AI from June 25–28, 2019.

The Department of Music at the University of California, Berkeley invites applications for a
pool of qualified temporary instructors to teach any of the following areas:
Music and technology involving CNMAT technologies and Max/MSP programming.
Special topic courses involving software programming for musical applications of computers.
Music courses focusing on music perception and cognition. Music appreciation courses with
an emphasis on music software and lab-based learning.
TONE is an analog audio feedback circuit with a tree-like array of three electret condenser microphones, resonant 4Ω loudspeaker, 9V amplifier, and cylindrical waveguide. Acrylic 'leaf' microphone mounts are suspended at the end of each cylindrical 'branch.' Acoustic feedback is situated by arranging the loudspeaker upward toward the mic array. As pressure waves propagate upward from the loudspeaker, sound is filtered through the pipes before arriving at the mic array, thus introducing non-linearities and expressive opportunities.
BLOOM is a flower-like analog oscillator on a transparent substrate comprised of three piezoelectric transducers, one transistor, one 3V battery, three LEDs, three photoresistors, and three resistors. Configured in a feedback loop, the circuit self-oscillates and produces variable light/sound sequences. The transparent substrate and stem-like conductive trace design gives each component an aesthetic quality. Photoresistors on the piezo elements provide subtle interaction by changing the electrical resistance when light is more or less present.
UC Berkeley faculty composer Carmine-Emanuele Cella was selected as a finalist in the 2019 Basel Composition Competition. His piece "Verso la fine del Giorno" was performed on 22 February 2019.
