Where is FEMS?

Hi guys, not sure if any of you will check this in time, but I Googled for FEMS and found their website. They have a map, but it's very rudimentary (arrow pointing to where the Music Building is). Where exactly in the Music building are we supposed to meet? Or can we all meet out front?
Thanks!

K. McGonigle Bio, Program Notes

Bio

Katherine McGonigle is an undergraduate Digital Media student anticipating her swiftly forthcoming graduation. She enjoys the eerie and ambient, but also the strangely humorous and absurd. She will be moving to Alabama and adopting a dachshund in the near future, and plans to work on web design and handmade crafts.

Program Notes

Spiritual Radiation (3'12") - Incorporates tracks of diverse origin, including modified parts of David Byrne and Brian Eno's "Bush of Ghosts," granular synthesis, MIDI instruments played on the keyboard, and tracks scavenged from Freesound.

Mutant Feline Lost in the Triumphantly Retributionist Forest (3'47") - All but two tracks are MIDI instruments performed on the keyboard. The remaining two tracks are modified running water and a cat meowing, obtained from Freesound.

Morte Time: Hi Be Boy Man (3'31") - Remediation of the MIDI version of the Britney Spears "hit."

titles

i could definitely go for 'after the crash'.
its a loaded title. Not only does it reference the idea of the black box, but it also signifies all our tech difficulties.(Sheila's pd constantly quitting, ben's rain damage, mandi and my issues with keykit, blah blah the list could go on forever)

other ideas could include maybe something with 'sampling' or 'alterations' or having to do with the number of performers.

Title Ideas

how bout:

Mystery in the Black Box: Summer sound design
After the Crash
Sound-a-splosion
