PhD Fellowships in Composition and Computer Technologies,\u00a0<\/b>University<\/span>\u00a0of<\/span>\u00a0Virginia<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

The\u00a0University<\/span>\u00a0of<\/span>\u00a0Virginia<\/span>\u00a0McIntire Department\u00a0of<\/span>\u00a0Music is accepting applications for the PhD in Composition and Computer Technologies (CCT). Generous five-year fellowships and teaching assistantships are available to a select number\u00a0of<\/span>\u00a0qualified applicants. The program emphasizes the integration\u00a0of<\/span>\u00a0acoustic and computer-based composition, considered as part\u00a0of<\/span>\u00a0a diverse multimedia and interdisciplinary 21st Century field\u00a0of<\/span>\u00a0art, design and music.\u00a0UVA<\/span>\u00a0Music faculty including Judith Shatin, Matthew Burtner, Ted Coffey, Luke Dahl, Noel Lobley, Peter Bussigel and I-Jen Fang along with CCT Technical Director Travis Thatcher collaborate to build a unique climate\u00a0of<\/span>\u00a0creative 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, improvisation, motion capture, music for dance, installation art, songwriting, mobile app development, new media opera, video game design, vocal and chamber music composition, ecoacoustics, and the creation\u00a0of\u00a0<\/span>new interfaces for musical expression.<\/p>\n

CCT students may draw on the innovative Critical and Comparative Studies (CCS) program and a broad Performance program within the Department\u00a0of<\/span>\u00a0Music. CCS develops interdisciplinary perspectives on music and musical culture. Performance at\u00a0UVa<\/span>\u00a0promotes diverse traditions\u00a0of<\/span>\u00a0music including western classical, jazz, marching band, new music, bluegrass, Klezmer, electronic, and African music and dance ensembles. In addition students may make use\u00a0of<\/span>\u00a0the excellent academic resources\u00a0of<\/span>\u00a0the\u00a0University<\/span>\u00a0of<\/span>\u00a0Virginia\u00a0<\/span>outside\u00a0of<\/span>\u00a0Music. Currently students and faculty collaborate closely with the departments\/schools\u00a0of<\/span>\u00a0Architecture, Engineering, English, Drama, Dance, Environmental Sciences, Art and Psychology.<\/p>\n

The CCT Program develops and maintains a number\u00a0of<\/span>\u00a0advanced computer music and multimedia research facilities including the\u00a0Virginia<\/span>\u00a0Center for Computer Music (VCCM), the Jefferson Starship Recording Studio, the Music Interactions Lab (MIL), and the Wilson Interdisciplinary Maker Space (WIMS). CCT also works closely with a number\u00a0of<\/span>\u00a0local venues and galleries to bring original student work into the community.<\/p>\n

Student compositions are performed by visiting ensembles, faculty performers, and our ensembles-in-residence: the New Music Ensemble, Percussion Ensemble, Mobile Interactive Computer Ensemble (MICE), and others. Recent visiting groups playing graduate student compositions include Loadbang, Meehan\/Perkins, Dither, Da Capo Chamber Players, the Jack String Quartet, Talujon Percussion Quartet, and the Relache and Verge Ensembles. New music from CCT is presented annually at the Digitalis and Technosonics Festivals. The Music Department also brings exciting scholars, technologists and artists to work with graduate students. Recent visitors have included Philip Glass,\u00a0George Lewis, Betsey Biggs, Ichiro Fujinaga, Paul Lansky,\u00a0Mamadou Diabate, Ko Umezaki, Brenda Hutchinson, John Petrucelli, Chris Chafe, and others.<\/p>\n

To be considered for admission with funding, complete applications must be submitted by December 15. More information is available at\u00a0http:\/\/music.virginia.edu\/cct-phd<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0http:\/\/gsas.virginia.edu\/admission<\/a><\/p>\n
