Alinea
Mission
Cultivate artistic innovation and foster new interdisciplinary approaches to the arts.
General Information
Alinea's current space houses specialized equipment for research involved in creating fixed and interactive electroacoustic music, scoring for film, gaming music, and experimenting with other arts technologies. Only a couple of classes meet in Alinea to ensure the space is left available for researchers and composition students to work on their own projects and collaborate with other departments.
