Re: [microsound] degree programs in digital music?

[Owen Meyers <meyers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

i finished my bachelor of music with honours in music technology at
mcgill a couple of years ago, so i was very much involved with the
music technology deptartment.  first off, mcgill is a great school
and montreal an even better city.

when i was there they were still developing their program and in the
process of hiring new faculty members.  but i believe they now have a
very strong program.  depending on your interests, there's ichiro
fujinaga for mir, philippe depalle for dsp, marcelo wanderley for
gestural control, and gary scavone for audio synthesis.  there is
also cirmmt, the centre for interdisciplinary research in music media
and technology, and a great sound recording department.  they also
recently built a new music building, though i'm not sure if the music
tech dept has moved in yet.

i didn't stick around for the masters degree because i found the
graduate workspace to be a bit cramped and tucked away in the back
corner of the music building.  however, i'm sure things have changed
now that they have the new building.
