John Gibson and Chi Wang, faculty in the Center for Electronic and Computer Music (CECM), composed pieces that appear on a new CD from the Society for Electro-Acoustic Music in the United States (SEAMUS). The annual CD, Music from SEAMUS, comprises the top pieces from the previous year's national SEAMUS conference—this time at the DiMenna Center in New York City—as determined by a vote of the organization's membership. Gibson's piece, In Summer Rain, explores the sound of a rainstorm. Wang performs her piece, Transparent Affordance, by tapping and drawing on an iPad to control her sound.
