The Department of Music announces the opening of the newly renovated McMullen Electro-Acoustic Music Studio (MEAMS)

With the opening of the newly renovated McMullen Electro Acoustic Music Studio (MEAMS), students now have the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of electo-acoustic music composition. The studio, located in Sanborn Hall, is overseen by the Assistant Professor of Composition, Music Theory and Electronic Music. The MEAMS has the latest in digital audio editing technology. In the studio, students can create new electro-acoustic music compositions, master compact discs (CDs) or add music to film. The MEAMS is a Mac-based environment that boasts an incredible 2.5 terabytes of hard drive space.  Students learn the basics of acoustics, musical instrument digital interface (MIDI) technology, and digital audio through MUS229 Introduction to Electronic Music Composition. They also work hands on with the equipment in their own three-hour block of studio time each week. This course culminates in final projects that are original compositions. Students may continue work in the studio through an independent study.

Dr. Thomas Carto founded the MEAMS in 1989 through a generous bequest of Marie McMullen. The times have changed, but the mission remains the same: to broaden the resources of music technology at OWU so that students and faculty members may explore, learn and create.
