Welcome to The Rutgers Electro-Acoustic Lab (REAL)
The
Rutgers Electro-Acoustic Lab (REAL) includes two studios designed for
sound generation, design and post-production for audio and video. Its
main function is to serve as an environment for students and faculty to
explore music technology through the realization of electroacoustic and
computer based music. Access to the studios is primarily through course
enrollment or by arrangement. A full-fledged recording facility, the
studio can address the needs of composers and performers seeking music
production. There is also the capability to address creative audio
requirements for theater and film production.
The current setup includes a 56 channel Yamaha 02R96VCM 24bit digital recording console, an Apple QuadCore MacPro with 2 Terabytes of storage and outboard processing by DBX, PreSonus and Ensoniq. Several MIDI controllers are available, including two 88 key Korg Triton Workstations. Software includes Logic Studio, Final Cut Studio, Max/MSP and Reason. Studio A is targeted for a complete Nuendo production system and Studio B will contain a Pro Tools system.
Mark Zaki, composer and assistant professor of composition is the director of REAL.

Madeleine Shapiro: Works for cello and electronics by Morton Subotnick, Anthony Cornicello, and Dorothy Hindman.
Madeleine Shapiro has long been a recognized figure in the field of contemporary music. She was the founding director of the internationally known ensemble The New Music Consort and presently directs ModernWorks, an ensemble that performs and commissions recent chamber works.
Madeleine performs extensively as a solo recitalist throughout the United States, Europe and Latin America, programming both acoustic and electro acoustic works, many of which were written for her. Madeleine's first solo CD, Electricity: Works for Cello and Electronics (Albany Records) was greeted as "focused and cohesive...a polystylistic collection of pieces that individually push the instrument and technology in unique ways" (Time Out New York).
ModernWorks most recent CD, string quartets by Ge Gan-ru was chosen by The New York Times as one of the best CDs of 2009.
