The conference organizers seek installation pieces with computer for a
"Garden of Sound" taking advantage of indoor and outdoor spaces in the

gamelan, saxophonist Daniel Kientzy, percussionist Steven Schick and the
vocal quartet VOX NOVA (SATB). Interactive pieces for any of these
performers are also appropriate. Opportunities for tape pieces include
the Guangdong Modern Dance Company Concert, the Siri Rama Indian dance
concert, the Zuni improvised theatre concert, a number of outdoor
concerts on the campus, and the special one-minute "Identity Pieces"
concert.

The conference will also feature papers, posters and demonstrations
of current computer music technology. Note: Full papers must be submitted

Are any of the piano's strings single strings? I certainly don't claim to be
an expert on piano mechanisms, but whenever I've looked into a grand piano
anyway, I could swear that even the low A was a course of two strings.

Anyway, assuming that your memory is better than mine, then I'll give a very
nonspecific answer that the partials on real instruments are rarely precisely
harmonic. Also you could well be hearing some comparatively quiet tones in
other vibrational modes, possibly tortional.
