![]() ![]() If it hasn’t already been made abundantly clear, my life revolves around music and people who love music. What do you like to do in your free time? I’m staying for the once-in-a-lifetime job opportunity and the sweet community I’ve found here at the ML. I began working as a student employee at the ML in the fall of 2021 which given me a chance to get familiar with our operations and community.Īs a soon-to-be-alum from Northern Virginia, I chose W&M for the top-tier academics and in-state tuition. I was also involved in concert planning on campus for both AMP’s HomeBrew and WCWM. In my time as an undergrad here, I was a station manager at WCWM, the College radio station, where I managed a team of students. Tell us a little about your work background: I hope to continue the Music Library’s approach to managing our space which centers student empowerment and agency. In my first year, I hope to establish programming intended to train students on the instruments and equipment in our collections. What do you hope to accomplish in your first year? I’m excited further promote the environment in the ML as a space where students can learn, grow, and explore new ways of interacting with music and technology. The most exciting part of this job is the hands-on work with synthesizers and the opportunity to extend that to students at W&M. I have a team of 11 wonderful student employees who work at our circulation desk so I will also be able to plan outreach programming and work on projects like repairing old equipment. I’m responsible for day-to-day operations at the Music Library in Ewell. She is a member of the New BBC Radiophonic Workshop, director-at-large of the International Computer Music Association, and is currently Assistant Professor of Sound Studies at Arizona State University where she leads the research group Practice and Research in Enactive Sonic Art ( ).In this post, we introduce W&M Libraries' new music library assistant, Brigid Cryan '22! Moogfest, Ableton’s LOOP, hcmf//, NIME, ICMC, MOCO, etc.) and published in major journals including Contemporary Music Review, Computer Music Journal, Organised Sound. Her work on embodied music education, pedagogy, and technology for children won her the Best Paper Award at the International Computer Music Conference in 2016, and was recently profiled by Cycling ’74. Her work has been presented internationally (e.g. Over the last decade she has developed and honed a deliberately challenging and unpredictable performance system that explores the relationships between bodies, sound, environments, and technology. She is a “positively ferocious improvisor” (Cycling ‘74), her music refusing to sit nicely between free improv, experimental pop, techno, and noise. Lauren Sarah Hayes is a Scottish musician and sound artist who builds and performs with hybrid analogue/digital instruments. We may be failing to engage an age group that is growing readily familiar with the skills and vocabulary surrounding new technologies. The findings and outcomes of the project suggest that we should not be restricting to the university level the discussion of how to continue to educate future generations in the practices surrounding computer music. A particular emphasis was placed on providing a form of music education that would engender creative practice that was available to all, regardless of musical ability and background. Topics included collective electroacoustic composition, hardware hacking, field recording, and improvisation. The project engaged several expert musicians and researchers to deliver the different areas of the course. Sixteen schools were involved, including two schools for additional support needs. This presentation describes Sound, Electronics, and Music, a large-scale project in which tutelage was provided on various topics related to sound and music technology to around 900 schoolchildren in Scotland in 20. Sound, Electronics, and Music: A Radical and Hopeful Experiment in Early Music Educationĭiscussions of pedagogical approaches to computer music are often rooted within the realm of higher education alone. ![]() Lauren Hayes Assistant Professor, Arizona State University ![]()
