Theremin Performance by Faculty and Visiting Artists + BXA Internal Transfer Session + HackCMU
Science Fiction Sounds in Kresge Theatre
Coming up this week is HackCMU, an info session on the BXA program, and a chance to see some IDeATe faculty in performance.
Theremin Master Eric Ross and the ERA Ensemble
Never heard of a Theremin? It's one of the first electronic musical instruments and was invented by physicist Leon Theremin in 1920 based on his research in proximity sensors. You might have heard its eerie sounds in movies but you'll have the rare opportunity to hear one live in performance. School of Computer Science/IDeATe faculty Roger Dannenberg and School of Music faculty Ben Opie will join visiting performer Eric Ross for a special performance on Friday, September 28th at 7:30 p.m. in Kresge Theatre (CFA). Ross performs on guitar, piano, synthesizer, and is a Master of the Theremin. His compositions include elements of jazz, classic, serial, electronic, and avant garde. Projected during the performance are the videos of Mary Ross, which are organized, arranged, and edited to his music. This event is free and does not require tickets.

This is the perfect introduction to the world of hackathons. If you're a veteran hacker, come out to mentor some underclassmen! Share your knowledge while you eat free food and add company swag to your collection. Register as an individual, as a team, or as a mentor. Also, check us out at our facebook event!
