Hi.
I am entering senior year as a composition major, at Univ Arts in
Philly. I'm interested in going to grad school for computer music,
and I want a little more of a challenge. I like freedom to pursue
lots of things, but at my current school that has meant pursuing
things the faculty can't really help me with.
Ideally, I want a good mix of computer and musical studies. I am
interested in learning all I can about computers, but I don't want to
abandon "traditional" things like melody and themes. I've tried to
learn C in the past, but I can't justify spending lots of time on it
while studying here. It's mostly live performances, and mostly jazz,
here.
I've checked out some stuff about UCSD, and their including of music
cognition as an actual field of study is great, it's my other favorite
subject. Not so big on algorithmic composition, but I'd be curious.
Does anyone have any recommendations for other places I should check
out? I'm willing to relocate, considering I would probably have to.
Thanks.
