    All the above information is for pre-approval discussion only. It has been passed by the Composition and Theory Area within the University of Florida School of Music. The next step would be to seek approval from the School of Music Curriculum committee. It is also important that appropriate support be secured to build and maintain technology resources in order for this program to be successful. jps 10/13/98

    CISE elective list added in lieu of requiring COT 4420/Thry of Cmptg during the eighth semester. jps 3/2/99

    CISE second elective added in seventh semester in lieu of requiring CGS 3460/Computer Programming in C during the first semester. jps 3/4/99



    Bachelor of Arts in Electroacoustic Music
    Proposal Discussion

    Point 1: The University of Florida has historically strong science and engineering programs.

    Point 2: Current academic climate supports innovative interdisciplinary degrees; said degrees make optimum use of university resources and prepare today's student for the evolving job market.

    Point 3: The classic music education paradigm is shifting with the emergence of computer/electronic technology; as traditional modes of early music education change we will find students applying to college music programs with non-traditional backgrounds.

    Point 4: Electronic technology has sufficiently matured in order to entertain the concept that computers, synthesizers, and other electric instruments are viable means of musical performance (real-time and non-real-time). The computer is now a musical instrument.

    Point 5: Historically electroacoustic music has embraced recorded media as "performance." Additionally, the composer in many electroacoustic traditions "perform" their work in the instrumental space/hall using a process called diffusion. Diffusion actively shapes the delivery of the music altering the timbre, amplitude, location, etc., of the work.

    Point 6: Numerous nationally/internationally recognized programs are currently offering graduate music degrees to students with a non-traditional music education. None are known to offer an undergraduate equivalent (an opportunity for our program to gain national attention and forge new ground).

    Point 7: Infrastructural needs are being address by the school/college.

    Point 8: The proposed degree would allow the department of music to maximize our position in the University of Florida community by becoming curricular partners with Computer and Information Sciences as well as Electrical and Computer Engineering.

    Point 9: The proposed degree will attract great interest by corporate sponsors and governmental granting agencies. We can provide much needed training grounds for tomorrow's art-technologists and as a brain trust for development of tomorrow's creative tools.

    Point 10: The program presented will allow a majority of the currently approved BA in Music curriculum to be left untouched (with the exception of 4 units of private instrumental skills to be replace with applicable skill courses require in the field). An appropriate entrance audition will be required in the form of a portfolio of works (computer performances). All other placement exams will be taken and the student placed in the appropriate theory sequence.
