NetBlipz Episode Three: Toneburst Laptop and Electronic Arts Ensemble

Thursday, June 18, 2020 at 4:00pm
WESU Middletown 88.1FM

Episode Three of "NetBlipz," the new WESU Middletown 88.1FM series that puts a spotlight on the remarkable skills and imagination of the Wesleyan Music Department, features recordings of the Toneburst Laptop and Electronic Arts Ensemble, directed by Associate Professor and Chair of the Music Department Paula Matthusen. This program will also be available to stream from WESU's show archives for two weeks after the broadcast.

The Toneburst Electroextravaganza went long distance on May 4th. This broadcast made as part of the Netblipz Series developed between the Music Department, Center for the Arts, and WESU 88.1 FM features some of the works featured on that final performance.

Works featured in the broadcast include the following:
