This symposium is the culminating event for Contemporary Music Studies I & II, a course series in which students design, generate and carry out original research projects across all dimensions of musical thought and practice. Please join us to celebrate their incredible work, which engages themes around identity, family and personal transformation; explores music’s relationships to work, leisure and happiness; excavates and critiques institutional histories; celebrates subcultural communities; and dramatizes dance, performance, listening and artistic aspiration in action. During the symposium, students will give 10-minute presentations on their research projects, followed by Q&A. Please bring headphones, a playback device (computer, tablet, smart phone), and your dancing shoes! All are welcome.

MUS 176 presents Controllerism

Friday, June 3, 2022 at 5:00 p.m.

Conrad Prebys Music Center, Experimental Theater

FREE | RSVP required for in person attendance

This event will not be livestreamed.

"This class MUS 176 : CONTROLLER-ISM : APPLIED TECHNIQUES FOR LIVE ELECTRONIC MUSIC PERFORMANCES, explored the application of various midi controllers in a live performance context. We studied the ergonomics of each controller in relationship with customizing software environments that catered to each individual’s music. We built multi-layered, internal layouts that lend itself to the most direct way to engage with the computer and the audience. The class allowed them to think creatively about the structures and limitations that lay in front of them and how best to deal with this in a live context. This is their first Controllerism performance in front of an audience."

- Professor King Britt

Controllerism is a term coined in ’05 by electronic producer Moldover.

Live performances by:

Yichan Yin

Omar Flores

Valen Chang

Guy Laborde

Jackson Matley

Maximillian Chen
