The University of Texas at Austin's Electronic Music Studios
(UTEMS) are among the most extensive and technologically advanced
of any university in the country. Works created by U.T. faculty
and student composers have been recorded on Centaur, CRI, Folkways,
and other well-known contemporary music labels, and included on
CDs produced by the International Computer Music Association and
the Society for Electro-Acoustic Music in the United States (SEAMUS).
They have also been performed at important conference and festivals
all over the world, including the International Computer Music Conference,
ISCM, SEAMUS and SCI Conferences, and the Bourges Festival, among
others. The most recent UTEMS CD release is entitled "Music
from The University of Texas Electronic Music Studios," and
is Volume 20 of Centaur's prestigious CDCM series of works from
major international Computer Music centers. It contains works by
faculty composers Karl Korte and Russell Pinkston, along with works
by four current or former students: Howard Fredrics, Jody Nagel,
Mark Schultz, and Mark Wingate.
Research and development in areas such as real-time digital signal
processing, interactive performance systems, and graphical user
interfaces for software synthesis languages has been supported by
grants from Analog Devices, Apple, High End Systems, IBM, Motorola,
NeXT, Silicon Graphics, Texas Instruments, Yamaha International,
and White Instruments, among others. Software and Hardware developed
in the computer music research center has been presented at major
conferences, including the International Computer Music Conference,
SEAMUS, the Acoustical Society of America, Audio Engineering Society,
EDUCOM, and various IBM Academic Computing Conferences, and published
in the Computer Music Journal.
