Call for Works

The Emerging Media Technology program in the Entertainment Technology department at CUNY’s New York City College of Technology invites submissions for the third annual New York City Electroacoustic Improvisation Summit, a concert series featuring music by artists focused on the integration of music improvisation and real-time interactive computer systems.

NYC EIS is made possible by faculty, staff, and students in the Emerging Media and Entertainment Technology programs at CUNY’s New York City College of Technology.

Venue

NYC EIS 2018 will take place on Friday, February 23rd, and Saturday, February 24th, from 7:00 to 9:00 PM on both nights, at New York City College of Technology’s Voorhees Theater.
