- Thursday, March 6, 1997: Realtime chat and exchange/critique of Midifiles with composers Anne La Berge in Amsterdam and Richard Tolenaar in Amersfoort. Despite a snowfall in Vermont that had the servers running on batteries for a while, and saw public school classes cancelled, students and teachers joined in this lively event, which also included visits by Laurie Spiegel and Nick Didkovsky from New York.
- Saturday, March 8, 1997: Realtime chat and artistic/philosophical discussion with composers Rhys Chatham and Eliane Radigue in Paris took place. The exchange was hot, heavy and rewarding, and also joined again by Laurie Spiegel and also in New York, Tom Hamilton.
- Monday, March 16,1998: Realtime chat and first meeting between composers Daron Hagen from New York City and Carl Stone from San Francisco. Opera and electroacoustics? It doesn't get any more different that this!
- Wednesday, March 25, 1998: Realtime chat and interwover exchange with composers Linda Catlin Smith from Toronto and Drew Krause from Miami. From suspended time to rhythmic animation, all in one chat.
- Thursday, April 9, 1998: Realtime chat and study in differences with composers Maggi Payne from San Francisco and Keith Moore from New York City. From instrumental enigmas to electroacoustic soundscapes, it was a vital event!
- Tuesday, May 5, 1998: Realtime chat and artistic discussion with composers Eve Beglarian from New York City and Elma Miller from Toronto. I wasn't there, but reports are that it was lucid and very striking.
- Monday, June 8, 1998:Realtime chat and heavy-duty exchange with composers Gary Barwin from Toronto and Nick Didkovsky (once again!) from New York City happened. The students were missing, but composers Peggy Madden and Dennis Báthory-Kitsz were there to throw in their various numbers of cents.
- Tuesday, October 13, 1998:Realtime chat with composer Pauline Oliveros from San Francisco is scheduled. We hope also to have from Amsterdam composer Calliope Tsoupaki for this event.
- Still upcoming: A live visit to Vermont from Cologne, Germany, by composer Maria DeAlvear. Watch for it!

- Also mentioned in the discussions were newsgroups. Here are some:
- rec.music.compose ... How composers think. Sometimes a rough-and-tumble group.
- rec.music.classical.contemporary ... More listeners here. Good ideas and questions answered, too.
- alt.music.makers.electronic ... Not heavily populated, and often duplicated by alt.music.midi
- alt.music.midi ... Strong group with many discussions and lots of hardware talk.
- alt.music.midiweb ... Similar to alt.music.midi with more emphasis on making connections.
- alt.emusic ... A poorly attended newsgroup with occasional good information.
- comp.music.midi ... The place to get tough questions anwered about equipment.
- bit.listserv.emusic-l ... Also available as an email listserv, and good for announcement distribution.
- comp.multimedia ... Most disputatious group with Mac and PC users always in camps, but still much good info.
- k12.ed.music ... A place to ask questions about the whole spectrum of music, with answers often devolving to email.
