Create

The University of California Santa Barbara (UCSB) Center for Research in Electronic Art Technology (CREATE) was established in 1986. Situated within the Department of Music as well as having strong ties to the Media Art and Technology program and the Allosphere research facility, CREATE serves as a productive environment available to students, researchers, and media artists for the realization of music and multimedia works. Professional composers will find the Center a productive place to realize their works. Among those who have made use of our facilities are Iannis Xenakis, Thea Musgrave, Bebe Barron, Zbigniew Karkowski and Robert Morris. CREATE manages three state-of-the-art computer music studios in the Music Department: Studio Varese, Studio Xenakis, and Studio Theremin, as well as the Pluriphonic Laboratory in Elings Hall.
