Frances is not dead; I'm pretty sure of that--unless it was her double walking by with a coffee yesterday. Around here, living women doing computer-music include the Net's own Linda Seltzer, Katherine Norman, Alicyn Warren (an AMS 50 prizewinner), and others. Down at UVA you can study with Prof. Judith Shatin (also an occasional netter). I haven't seen Shulamit Ran on the composer list. One could also add Dika Newlin and hundreds of others. For conductors, add Antonia Brico and Margaret Hillis. Barbara Schubert conducts the U of Chi orchestra. Roger
