                    MUSIC OF TWO WORLDS
                  Vancouver, B.C.  Canada
                     July 2 - 28, 1991

The 1991 Simon Fraser University Summer Institute Music Intensive 
is a one month workshop which includes practical studies in 
Compositional Software Design and Indonesian Gamelan Performance.
In bringing together two of the most significant influences on
contemporary musical practice, this workshop features an immersion
in the juxtaposition of diverse cultures and technologies. 

Working with Atari and Macintosh computers, participants create their
own MIDI performance software using the FORTH and HMSL programming 
languages.  Artists in resdence George Lewis and David Rosenboom 
are two of the foremost composers currently working with experimental 
music software design.

Participation in the second component of the Intensive, Javanese and 
Balinese Gamelan (percussion orchestra) Performance, is encouraged
but not required.

MUSIC OF TWO WORLDS will be held at the Western Front Lodge in downtown 
Vancouver, B.C. from July 2 through July 28 1991.  For more information
