Worth saying, as these events are few and far between: IRCAM, the famous French Comtemporary Music Research Institute, is organizing a Musical Freeware meeting, as part of the "Résonances 2003" event.
The event will present freeware and its concrete uses on multiple operating systems, including Agnula, JMax, OpenMusic, and so on.
This meeting is Thursday October 23rd, 10 AM to 6 PM, at IRCAM's Studio 5 (1, place Igor-Stravinsky, 75004 Paris). Registration is required but free (take the opportunity -- it's one free IRCAM event out of two in the year), and you can register email at: Sylvie.Benoit@ircam.fr. Ed: Not in Paris? Check out freeware on IRCAM's site. -PK

It's with a real joy that in this date of september 29th of 2003, we blow the sixth candle of our favorite website, with one wish in mind: Long life to MacMusic!
