Murray Schaffer, David Dunn, Eduardo Gutierrez Del Barrio, Bj rk Guemundsdóttir, Yasunao Tone, Yamantaka Eye, Brian Eno, Richard D. James and Paul Miller.

Students completing an honors project in contemporary music may petition the department to exempt themselves from the writing component of this seminar.
