Hi,

We are recruiting participants for a set of experiments to test a new  
collaborative music-making program we are developing. We are looking  
for people with an interest in creating music, for instance composers,  
musicians, DJs, and students of Music, Music Technology or related  
fields. You do not need to know anything about music theory or be able  
to play an instrument to take part in the study.

For the experiment, you will work in a small group, and will use  
several different versions our software to create some music which  
compliments a short animation we will play to you.

The software we have developed is easy to use, and you will receive  
some training at the start of the session. Remember, we are interested  
in testing the software we have developed, and not your skills as  
musicians or composers.

The experiment will be video recorded for analysis purposes, and all  
personal data will be anonymised. The experiment will last  
approximately 90 minutes, and will be held in room 421 of the Computer  
Science department at Queen Mary University of London.

You will be paid £10 in cash for your participation, and you may take  
away the music you create.

We are looking to recruit people as soon as possible. Please contact  
me if you are interested in taking part, or would like further details.

Regards

Robin Fencott
