AULO as a course proposal PART II

I got another email from Aalto University / Media Factory education
coordinator replying as - this course proposal is interesting but it
is a bit far from our thematic "epicenter".

It seems like we couldn't resonate with Aalto University education
"mind" at all, seems like we have to narrow our target-interest scope
a bit.

AULO as a course proposal

I just received an email from Markku Nousiainen, whom I sent earlier
AULO course proposal for the Aalto University / Aalto Media Factory.
It seems like they cannot really promise anything for this course,
stating that individual courses in Aalto should support their long-
term plans.

Most probably we will be all alone for the autumn term, but AULO will
start and hopefully have one public performance till December and lets
see after December if we can find a place for AULO in any curriculum.
I will keep on contacting with people about this.

AULO Mobile

It seems interesting. I think It could even be expanded as mobile
devices orchestra if there is enough software to use in future.

AULO set up

Two things that should be considered: 1. Personally I like the way, Koray, you said "AULO is an open group for laptop music performances". However there is another way that is strategically wiser: to put AULO as a project course in Aalto Univ. curriculum (Media Factory, or whatever called). AULO could set up its project budget and could invite some guests, and employ probably a project coordinator/leader. The problem with HCO was that there was no money to run it and no one took care of it. It was too open format. 2. Since there are so many laptop orchestras and most of them are in institutions, why not AULO, or AALTO Univ. starts to plan a LO festival here in Helsinki. Probably 2010 summer? - shinji
