SuperCollider Symposium pre-announcement

Hi all,

The third SuperCollider Symposium will be held at Wesleyan University from Thursday April 9 to Sunday April 12, 2009.
The symposium will begin at 8PM Thursday with a presentation by the editors of the forthcoming SuperCollider Book
and a keynote address by James McCartney.

All symposium events will take place in the Center for the Arts at Wesleyan University in Middletown, CT.
The deadline for proposals for papers, performances, installations, and workshops will be January 15; complete details will
appear at supercollider.wesleyan.edu in about a week’s time.

The Inn at Middletown, which is within walking distance of the Center for the Arts, will offer rooms to conference participants at $125 a night (these
are rooms with two queen beds, so they can be split). Other accommodations can be found in the vicinity but require a car. We will make efforts to
make it as simple as possible for people to get to the conference from NYC and JFK airport.

Harvestworks (http://www.harvestworks.org/) will accept proposals for pre or post symposium workshops to take place in their facility
at 596 Broadway, New York, NY. These proposals should be submitted directly to Harvestworks by December 1. Enrollment levels will
determine which workshops actually take place. Please put SUPERCOLLIDER in the subject heading as they will also be fielding numerous
applications for their AIR program at the same time.

Once we have the WWW site for the symposium up and running we will make a full announcement. This pre-announcement is being sent to the
developer and user lists to let you begin planning now that the basic schedule has been determined.

Cheers,

Ron Kuivila
