Friday, February 21 in ETC 4.150 at 3 PM
 

On Friday, we will be speaking with Dr. Anne Guthrie, a consultant with Arup in California. Dr. Guthrie is an acoustician, composer, and French horn player living in San Francisco, CA. She studied music composition and English at the University of Iowa and architectural acoustics at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, where she completed her Ph.D in 2014.
Anne's music combines her knowledge of acoustics and contemporary composition/improvisation. Her electronic music has focused on exploiting the natural acoustic phenomena of unique architectural spaces through minimal processing of field recordings. Her composition has focused on the orchestration of non-musical sounds, speech in particular. Dr. Guthrie's French horn playing has focused on electronic processing and extended techniques used in improvisatory settings, as a soloist and with Fraufraulein and Delicate Sen, among other projects. Her acoustics research has focused on the use of ambisonics for stage acoustics. 
Her seminar immediately following the student chapter meeting is part of a larger "No Idea Festival' which is an annual festival of improvised music based in Austin.

The Acoustical AMA series allows current students to meet with acoustical professionals in an informal setting and pick their brains concerning all things acoustics and related career paths.


As always, snacks will be provided.
See you there!
