2303.0. "Digital/Commusic Concert?" by JAIMES::FALIVENA (Mike Falivena) Wed Mar 28 1990 19:29

    After reading over the last few months all you commusic afficianados
    talking to one another, an idea occurs to me.  I'd like to know
    if anyone thinks it is worthwhile.  Hows about we put on a commusic
    concert (with only Digital performers or groups with at least one
    Digital member) with the proceeds donated to a worthy cause.  All
    kinds of music welcome as well as solos or groups.
                      
    What do you think?

	Well, not to be a wet blanket, but we (the general DEC music community) have done this 4 or 5 times already, each time with diminishing attendance and interest. I think it's worthwhile, but would be surprised if you could get enough interest to make it happen.... Edd

	You mean, like I get up there and push the "start" buttton and you guys applaud afterwards? ;-) db
2303.3	Random thoughts ...	NIMBUS::DAVIS		`Wed Mar 28 1990 20:43`	12
	It might be interesting to do something with the emphasis on "computer" music (whatever that is? rathole alert). Maybe include a grand finale with a collaborative sequenced effort (whatever happened to that project to sequence an orchestral work?). If you're talking about the Boston area, there are some organizations that might be interested in helping with production/promotion (Mass College of Art, NEWCOMP). I doubt if there'd be much in the way of proceeds to be donated, but it's a nice thought. Rob

	re: .2 Well, sort of. You push your start button and we respond with sampled applause. Better yet, send us a MIDI feed and we'll make sure you get a heart-felt, sincere, sampled applause on queue. ;) Steve_the_MIDIless
2303.5	ZKO is looking for a commusic program	MARKUP::DEVRIES	By their notes ye shall know them	`Tue Apr 03 1990 15:44`	7
	The folks in ZKO Employee Activities approached Dan Murphy with a suggestion like this last year, and he invented the ZKO Minstrels instead. If any of you would like to pursue the notion of showing off your synths and all that, please contact Dan at FOGGYR::MURPHY. And won't he be surprised I put his name here! Mark
2303.6	11110000	QUIVER::PICKETT	David - Beware of the dogma	`Wed Apr 04 1990 13:30`	6
	re .2 Yes, Dave, exactly! ;^) re .3 Oh no! What IS art? What IS music? Plastic or Paper? I can't handle these controversies! dp
