The UC San Diego Center for Research in Computing and the Arts (CRCA) collection documents the activities of the experimental music and art research unit. Materials include: subject files, photographs, publications and writings, event materials, and produced works.

The Project for Music Experiment, funded by the Rockefeller Foundation, opened in 1972 under the direction of UC San Diego professor Roger Reynolds. In 1973, the project became an organized research unit at the University of California, San Diego and was renamed the Center for Music Experiment (CME). Although autonomous, the Center was monitored by an inter-departmental advisory board with UC San Diego Music Department faculty. The director was nominated by the board and appointed by the Chancellor for terms of up to five years.

The Center was designed as a performance, composition, and a technological research space for innovations with digital computer music; also facilitating the Studio for Extended Performance, the Extended Vocal Techniques Ensemble (EVTE), and the KIVA Improvisation Ensemble. The center facilitated and sponsored countless events, as well as worked with artists from around the world through exchange programs. In 1977, under the direction of Pauline Oliveros, CME received additional funding for a computer music facility designed to integrate technology and research into both the graduate and undergraduate curricula. In 1991, the UC Regents approved the change of name from CME to CRCA - the Center for Research in Computing and the Arts (CRCA). On July 1, 2012, CRCA was "sunset" and it's functions and facilities were folded into Calit2.

Notable faculty included: Will Ogden, Robert Erickson, Harry Partch, Kenneth Gaburo, Thomas Nee, James Campbell, Bernard Rands, and John Silber.

Directors included: Rodger Reynolds (Founding Director, 1972-1975), Pauline Oliveros (1976-1979), F. Richard Moore (1982-1991), Harold Cohen (1993-1998), Sheldon Brown (1999-2010), and Shahrokh Yadegari (2011-2012).

The UC San Diego Center for Research in Computing and the Arts (CRCA) collection documents the activities of the experimental music and art computer-based research unit. The documents were collected internally by staff and faculty for educational and archives purposes. The materials include subject files representing the development and founding of the department, performance flyers, photographs, publications and writings describing the technological development of experimental music research and performance, and works produced by the center and its affiliates.

Deutsch, Diana. Musical Illusions and Paradoxes - Audio, 1995

CRCA description: In listening to this CD, you enter the curious and paradoxical world of illusion. The sounds as they appear to you are not only different from those that are really present, but they sometimes behave so strangely as to seem quite impossible. The illusions also show that people can differ strikingly in the way they hear very simple musical patterns. These disagreements do not reflect variations in musical ability or training. Even the finest musicians, on listening to the stereo illusions featured here, may disagree completely as to whether a high tone is being played to their right ear or left. And the most expert musicians, on listening to the tritone, paradox, can engage in long arguments as to whether a pattern of only two tones is moving up or down in pitch. | Please see supporting material in box 15, folder 42.

Dragulescu, Alex and Timothy Jaeger. Respam - Promo video, 2005

CRCA description: Respam is a net.art platform for the collection, implementation, and cultural integration of unwanted, abject data in the form of solicitous messages (heretofore referred to as spam).

Research into this phenomenon is taking all over the world as spam threatens to turn the once utopian cyber landscape into an abyss of junk e-mails, adverts, and attempts on the part of the spammers to harvest individuals' data for malicious use.
