Alinea

Alinea's mission is to:

Cultivate Informed Creative Research

Alinea provides space, tools, and specialized guidance that foster collaboration and exploration of new interdisciplinary approaches to the arts.

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.
