Focus Lecture
Robert Ashley

Robert Ashley was born in Ann Arbor in 1930 and educated at the University of Michigan and the Manhattan School of Music, working with Wallingford Riegger and Roberto Gerhard. His studies included not only composition, but psychoacoustics and cultural speech patterns. Now a freelance composer based in New York, his signature blend of sophisticated language, tchnological exploration with sound and media, and urbane commentary on the social circumstances of the late 20th century have established for him a uniquely substantive and timely position in the international art world.

Interactive Information Kiosk
UCSD Music faculty member George Lewis will present a lecture-demonstration about his "Interactive Information Kiosk", commissioned by the City of San Diego's Arts and Culture Commission and the Metropolitan Wastewater Department with support provided by the National Endowment for the Arts. The project is part of a public art initiative to enhance the Point Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant with site-specific artworks that intersect with the plant's environment. Utilizing cutting-edge interactive technologies for sound, image and video, Lewis' new work, which will be permanently installed at the Point Loma plant's newly constructed Operations Building and Visitor's center in late April 2000, is a gloss on the form of the "interactive kiosk", where the visitor's own movements interact with combinations of interview footage, sounds, still and moving images collected by Lewis, videographer/editor Hans Fjellestad and sonographer/computer programmer Harry Castle, to create a personal experience of the (virtual) plant.

Linux Computer Music Lecture
Shahrokh Yadegari

One of the early computer music systems for unix, the Computer Audio Research Laboratory (CARL) package (including cmusic) was developed in the early 80s by F. Richard Moore, Gareth Loy, Mark Dolson, Rusty Wright, and others at CRCA, which at the time was called the Center for Music Experiment (CME). CARL has recently been ported to linux. This talk is a comparative demonstration of working facilities, especially those related to computer music, under linux vs. those provieded under single user/single task OS's such as MacOS or Windows. We shall give a short history of the evolution of linux. A number of features of the CARL package and the linux OS will be shown and we shall end with an speculative conclusion on the effect of the facilities and interfaces of tools on the work produced by those tools. Shahrokh Yadegari holds a BS from purdue University in Electrical Engineering and a master's from MIT's Media Lab. He is currently a music doctoral student at UCSD.
