[Microsound-announce] MUTEK 2007 PANELS

[Graham Miller]

MUTEK's professional program returns this year, with a new title.  
DIGI_SECTION offers a platform of reflective thinking and exchange  
for all those who are interested in the field of electronic music and  
digital creativity. Two whole days of panels and workshops will be  
presented on Thursday, May 31st, and Friday, June 1st, at the HOTEL  
GODIN, EX-CENTRIS, and the SOCIETY FOR ARTS AND TECHNOLOGY (SAT). The  
program consists of five panels bringing international artists and  
professionals to the same table, as well as twelve workshops led by  
specialists.



Over the years, this professional portion of the Festival's  
programming has become an essential and anticipated component of the  
MUTEK experience.



Panels can be attended for a price of $7 each, and are free for  
MUTEK_PASSPORT holders. Most of the workshops are offered for free.  
Tickets for all activities will be available at the door one hour  
before the beginning of each activity.
