Paul Koonce Gives Concerts and Keynote Addresses in Louisiana and Scotland

In March, School of Music Professor Paul Koonce travelled to Louisiana and Scotland for back-to-back residencies. For Louisiana, he travelled with his wave field synthesis loudspeaker array to the Digital Media Center at Louisiana State University for a four-day residency, during which he was featured guest composer on the School of Music’s Cinema for the Ears concert and one of two keynote speakers at the National Student Electroacoustic Music Event (NSEME), hosted by the School of Music. Both events took place in the center’s uniquely designed 97 speaker Digital Media Theater. In the following week, he travelled to Aberdeen, Scotland for a three-day residency hosted by the University of Aberdeen School of Music, during which he presented music on the Rediscoveries Concert Series and gave one of three keynote talks at the In and Out of Space symposium, focusing on his work with wave field sound techniques.
