The University of Virginia Department of Music's Composition and Computer Technologies (CCT) program emphasizes the integration of acoustic, electric, and computer-based composition, considered as part of a diverse multimedia and interdisciplinary 21st Century field of art, design, and music. UVA Music faculty, including Matthew Burtner, Ted Coffey, Luke Dahl, Noel Lobley, A.D. Carson, Leah Reid, and I-Jen Fang, along with CCT Technical Director Alex Christie, collaborate to build a unique climate of creative and technical research. In addition to making original compositions and sound art works, students have the opportunity to create their own new technologies and become involved with on-going CCT research groups. Current work involves multichannel digital audio composition, improvisation, motion capture research, music for dance, installation art, songwriting, mobile app development, new media opera, video game design, vocal and chamber music composition, ecoacoustics, and the creation of new interfaces for musical expression. This program emphasizes the study and integration of acoustic and computer-based music composition, with ample opportunities in multimedia. Students work with individual faculty and participate in seminars that develop analytical, critical, theoretical, and technological approaches. Computer-based and multimedia projects are supported by the Virginia Center for Computer Music (VCCM), which houses a wide variety of commercial and in-house software and hardware. Annual residencies by professional ensembles provide professional performance opportunities, and annual composer concerts provide forums for new work. Students also pursue research projects such as the development of software for interactive dance and internet-based art, and have been well represented in national and international conferences.
