The MADStudio

The scientific communities are not the only ones applying the rapid developments of technology in their research and academics; the arts are also enjoying the benefits of a high-tech world. The Music & Art Digital Studio (MADStudio) at LSU fosters the collaborative efforts of students in the School of Music and the School of Art. The resulting projects involve three-dimensional computer-modeling, computer animation, digital video, and computer music.

Composer and associate professor of music Stephen David Beck and the late artist and former director of the LSU School of Art Michael Daugherty put research into students' hands by creating the MADStudio, an electronic network that links students of computer animation with students of computer music.

MADStudio students, working from separate locations across campus, meet online to create animated computer music videos that can be seen on the class website. The MADStudio gives students the chance to work in teams similar to what they will encounter in their professional lives.

The next step in the program is to add creative writers to the student teams.
