Music and New Technologies - Conservatory "A.Casella" in L'Aquila- Italy

Some info for those who are interested in applying for internship or similar collaboration.

We are receiving some application request for cooperating in researches in various fields, among which signal processing and communications. We are very glad of this consideration, but we would like to clarify some topic before any application would be filed to us.

First of all, this department belongs to a Music Conservatory, not to a Technology University. As a consequence, every activity we made is tightly connected to art and music, and this applies to research activities too. So we cannot consider applications which are not strongly directly motivated from a musical point of view, even by itself interesting or full of potential indirect fall-out in art applications.

Furthermore, the current status of Italian Conservatories is recent, their role in Artistic and Technological Research being just at the beginning. As a consequence, we will be very interested in considering any proposal lying inside the above mentioned framework, but in this case you will be patient because at present there are no consolidated paths inside the Institution for such applications, and the solution of the associated problems (economics, logistic, etc.) will require some delay.

We submit these considerations not for the sake of discouraging proposals – that are on the contrary strongly encouraged - but in order to suggest that proposals must be submitted very early, as soon as possible. Any delay can be fatal for your application to succeed.

Thank you again for your consideration.
