Hi All, Here in Birmingham we've been moving into our new facilities (part of the £16 million Bramall Music Building). We're very excited about the new possibilities they offer (6 custom designed studios – 4 of them multichannel and 3 of those with height, a new concert hall designed with the ca. 100 loudspeaker BEAST system in mind, the new semi-permanent 30+ channel BEASTdome system, etc.).
We're now just about set up, and have been slowly updating our webpages. Tis the season (of OT recruitment emails), so I thought I'd point interested people here: http://www.birmingham.ac.uk/facilities/BEAST/index.aspx http://www.birmingham.ac.uk/schools/lcahm/departments/music/postgraduate/index.aspx We have Masters and PhD courses, including distance learning. Possible topics include composition (electronic and/or mixed), real-time electroacoustics, live coding, network music systems, laptop ensemble stuff, sound art, multichannel techniques, and history and aesthetics of electronic music. UK/EU students interested in PG study will have access to £14.6 million of new funding as part of the Midlands 3 cities partnership: http://www.midlands3cities.ac.uk/midlands-3-cities/index.aspx These have a relatively short deadline of January 9th. We also have other sources of funding (including for international students): http://www.birmingham.ac.uk/schools/calgs/scholarships/index.aspx http://www.birmingham.ac.uk/International/students/finance/scholarships/index.aspx On top of that we have various departmental scholarships and assistantships. Best wishes and happy holidays, Scott __________________________ Dr. Scott Wilson Reader in Music (Composition and Live Electroacoustic Music) Music Department Bramall Music Building University of Birmingham Edgbaston, Birmingham B15 2TT United Kingdom +44 (0)121 414 5767 Home: http://scottwilson.ca Music Dept: http://www.birmingham.ac.uk/music BEAST: http://www. birmingham.ac.uk/beast BEASTmulch: http://www.birmingham.ac.uk/facilities/BEAST/research/mulch.aspx COMPASS: http://www.birmingham.ac.uk/compass -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
