The WAVE_LIST listserv is devoted to issues of gender and music technology. Special areas of interest include the history and works of women composers of electronic and computer ("electroacoustic") music; the dissemination of opportunities in the areas of electroacoustic music composition and audio engineering for girls and women; the announcement of special events involving the work of girls and women in music technology; and the general promotion of awareness of the past, present, and future contributions of girls and women in these fields.
The WAVE_LIST listserv is open to all interested women and men (of all ages) including composers, performers, musicologists, librarians, educators, hobbyists, and enthusiasts. As several outstanding lists already exist for the general study and promotion of women in music, participants are asked to keep their postings related to issues of women and music technology in particular.
The WAVE_LIST name is a tribute to the Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service units established by the United States military in July 1942. Involved in a variety of industrial service production tasks for the war effort, the WAVES represent one of modern women's first real opportunities to encounter and work closely with technology and machinery.
