Hello,

I apologize for the intrusion but the pure-data list hosts exactly the people we are looking for: computer musicians who code. We're trying to figure out how software engineering research can help computer musicians or if computer musicians need any help.

Are you a computer musician? Do you code in languages geared towards music (e.g., Pure Data, Max MSP, Chuck, SuperCollider, etc.) or make music in other programming languages like C, Java, C++, Javascript, etc.?

If so, we would like to hear from you! We the PIs, Gregory Burlet and Abram Hindle, are from the Department of Computing Science at the University of Alberta and are conducting a survey of computer musicians to investigate how this demographic of software developers program musical instruments or applications.

Please visit the survey invitation website and click the "I consent, take me to the survey" button to complete the survey (if you consent). The survey will take 5 to 10 minutes.

Thanks for your time!
