Performing Arts faculty Charlie Masters and Jeremy Correnti spent Sunday afternoon at The Franklin Institute where they participated in an interactive simulcast of a Dallas Opera production of Death and the Powers, Tod Machover's new opera about the merging of machine and man in a sci-fi vision of the future. Jointly sponsored by Drexel University's EXCITE Center (for innovation and collaboration), attendees were asked to download a proprietary App developed by engineers at MIT that allowed for the viewing of special visual effects associated with the music. Masters and Correnti are developing a new all school program called Music for the 21st Century that seeks to understand the production and consumption of music intermediated through digital interfaces.
