Hard to believe the fall semester is already coming to a close, but we’re going out with a bang in Technomusicology<\/a> (see & hear some of our projects here<\/a> and there<\/a>): Thursday’s final class session will feature a visit from none other than Jace Clayton, aka DJ \/Rupture<\/a>, globe-trotting artist, writer, label honcho, three-turntable magician, & one of the finest non-card-carrying technomusicologists in “the field”!<\/p>\n

Jace will be presenting Sufi Plug Ins<\/a>, his recently launched, semi-crowdsourced<\/a>, collaboratively-produced, free (!) audio software \/ art project. As described over at Beyond Digital<\/a>, Sufi Plugs Ins includes <\/p>\n

four software synthesizers hardwired to North African maqam scales with quartertone tuning built-in, a device called DEVOTION which lowers your computer\u2019s volume 5 times a day during call to prayer (presets include Agnostic, Fervent, Devout), and a drone machine<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
