Hey cHUck-STers: An item of interest for the New York crowd, and I know there are a few of you. At the CMC we are starting a monthly evening of laptop/electronic performance called "CMC Fün Nite." The first one is this Thursday (March 1). See the press release below. If its not fun, its poorly named, so come out and join the fun! -------------- Press release: This coming Thursday evening (March 1) marks the inaugural event in a monthly meeting devoted to informal performance and discussion of laptop improvisation in the New York area. We're calling these "CMC fün nites" and our intention is to provide a dorkbot-like forum for artists and musicians involved in technological improvisation. This first event will feature performances and talk by: PG (Terry Pender and Brad Garton, possible video enhancements by Luke Dubois) Sam Pluta (audio and video improvisations) Nick Didkovsky (improvisational pieces by Dr. Nerve!) Please come to join us! We will be in the main space of the third floor of Prentis Hall, 632 W. 125th Street (just off Broadway). Visit the CMC web site [http://music.columbia.edu/CMC] for directions. -------------- Thanks and sorry for the clutter, brad http://music.columbia.edu/~brad
