EXPANDING HORIZONS THROUGH ART, SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
HELP SUPPORT THE LEONARDO/ISAST COMMUNITY
Where else can you learn about cybernetic bacteria, digital swarms  
and virtual haptics in one place? Since 1968 Leonardo has supported  
the art/sci/tech community in its quest to expand the horizons of  
what we know and experience. Now it's time to give back. Remember  
that donations to Leonardo/ISAST provide critical support for  
Leonardo programs, such as the Leonardo Educators and Students  
Program and the popular monthly LASER (Leonardo Art Science Evening  
Rendezvous) series. Leonardo/ISAST is a 501(c)3 non-profit  
organization that relies on the support of its community. Find out more

COMING SOON: LMJ 21
BEYOND NOTATION: COMMUNICATING MUSIC
Peer-to-peer file exchange, the iTunes store, MySpace, Pandora – by  
2011 it's obvious that the Internet has radically transformed the  
economy and culture of selling, distributing, owning and hearing  
recorded music. Less discussed is the Web's impact on that part of  
music that used to be called "the score"– instructions, suggestions  
and materials for performing, rather than consuming, music. Software  
required to play interactive computer music can be downloaded  
directly from composers' websites as easily as a score can be checked  
out of a library, and the iPhone has fostered yet another realm of  
publishing: Bands sell apps that allow fans to make personal remixes  
of their singles, while another popular app lets you play your phone  
like an ocarina as you jam with other players around the globe. Find
