CDCM Background:
CDCM: Consortium to Distribute Computer Music came into being in 1986 as an expansion and continuation of a consortium of computer music studios at Dartmouth College, University of North Texas, and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, organized in 1984 as recipients of a grant from the Consortium Commissioning program of the National Endowment for the Arts to administer three computer music commissions and to present them in significant public performances. In October, 1986, the three original studios expanded to six, establishing CDCM as a non-profit association to organize their collective compositional, technical, and institutional resources to advance the creation, appreciation, and dissemination of computer music. In September, 1994, CDCM and the International Computer Music Association, Inc., became non-profit, affiliated organizations.CDCM Founding Studios:
