Here are a couple of talks coming up later this week that you might be interested in. David Cope is from UC Santa Cruz and will be speaking at CCRMA on Friday morning on creating music in a particular style. Manfred Clynes has been suggested as an interesting seminar speaker, but I don't know enough about his work to judge. If somebody attends, can you let me know whether his work would be interesting to the rest of the Hearing Seminar group? Enjoy. -- Malcolm ======================================================= Presentation at CCRMA: 11 A.M.
