Computer Music Journal
Volume 35, Number 3, Fall 2011
This issue’s theme is “Emulative Algorithms and Creative Algorithms.” All but one of the issue’s articles discuss algorithms that either simulate traditional, non-computer-based musical techniques or else explore original, creative approaches. In these pages, the dichotomy of imitative versus original creation, of standard versus nonstandard musical practice, shows up in three areas: sound synthesis, musical composition, and musical performance. For each of these areas, they present an emulative approach first, followed by a non-emulative one.more

Call For Papers
"Sowjetische Musik und Musiker im Ausland, 1917-1991"
Zu diesem Thema findet ein internationales Symposium vom 24. bis 26. Mai 2013 in der Hochschule für Musik, Theater und Medien Hannover in Kooperation mit der IMS Study Group "Shostakovich and His Epoch" statt.
Bis zum 31. Januar 2012 können sich Interessierte für Vorträge bewerben.
Xenakis' Electroacoustic Music
Université Paris 8, May 23-25, 2012
Xenakis' electroacoustic works are relatively few in his whole production, but they are very important. Indeed, most of them punctuate the history of electroacoustic music as masterpieces full of originality and innovation. Besides, Xenakis worked both on musique concrète and with electronic music techniques, covering both fields of what is called electroacoustic music. Moreover, his polytopes, where technology plays a major role, are pioneer realizations in the history of multimedia art.
This symposium wishes to gather researchers from all around the world – well-known specialists of Xenakis' music or young researchers – to analyze his electroacoustic music. Proposals of papers should include an abstract of 600 to 1000 words (additional to a bibliography) and a short CV. They should be sent before the 1th of January 2012 to Makis.Solomos at univ-paris8.fr .

Conlon Nancarrow: Life and Music
International Symposium Online, September 27 - October 27 2012
The Symposium, held in honor of the centennial of Nancarrow's birth, will include three main types of material: academic papers, performances and media, and biographical material such as interviews, reviews, and photographs. Keynote presentations feature Kyle Gann, author of The Music of Conlon Nancarrow, and the Bugallo-Williams Piano Duo.
The Symposium will be an online gathering, harnessing network resources to bring Nancarrow enthusiasts from a wide range of geographical areas and time zones into communication with one another. We hope that the three types of materials listed above will stimulate a vibrant online exchange.
Material from the Symposium will remain online for research and public information purposes, and may be submitted as part of a special issue to Music Theory Online. Some of the possible technologies of the MTO site include sound files, color graphics, animation, video, non-linear presentations, interactive elements, and the use of live hyperlinks to reference online sources.

Marissa Nadler at COMET Club Falkensteinstr. 47 10997
Berlin
Though 27 year-old Marissa Nadler has a background in visual arts at the Rhode Island School of Design, she has since made a career as a musician. It's not surprising to find Nadler crafts music with melodies and lyrics steeped in rich imagery and beautiful textures. With a sound somewhere between the hazy melodies of Mazzy Star and the folk sensibilities of Vashti Bunyan, Nadler pieces together beautiful, dreamy folk music.
Nadler's music may contain less 'freak' folk or experimental elements than much of the music evolving from the folk scene today, but it is no less relevant or intriguing. Ranging from ghosts, angels, and dead flowers to running away to join the circus, the topics on 'Little Hells' are just as eerily beautiful as the music.Website

THE ARTWORK OF EMORY DOUGLAS at The Outsiders - London
THE ARTWORK OF EMORY DOUGLAS at The Outsiders - London
Emory Douglas is a pivotal figure in the development of political graphic art. Appointed ‘Minister for Culture’ for the Black Panthers in 1967, he became in-house illustrator for the quasi-revolutionary civil rights movement’s eponymous newspaper. Douglas’ instantly recognisable graphics filled the incendiary journal and would form its back page, a ‘cut out and paste up’ propaganda poster.
A cornerstone of the Black Panthers until their dissolution in the early 1980s, Douglas was one of the first agitants to use the visual language of the right wing to express the ideas of the left. His powerful pieces swapped hand-wringing for aggression and victim status for insurgency. Using a strong but consistent, simple yet brutal visual style Douglas’ artwork defined the Black Panther’s pride, resourcefulness and charisma. The illustrations’ accompanying battle cries, including ‘all power to the people’, ‘in revolution one wins and one dies’ and ‘seize the times’, entered the lexicon of a generation.
