While many students are busy preparing for the upcoming all-night snow sculpture contest, others are preparing for a night of dancing and music. There will be a live EDM concert on the lawn near the Minerals and Materials Engineering Building this Wednesday night, sponsored by the Audio Engineering Society. The event will run from 7 p.m. to 12:50 a.m. and will feature a total of total of six student DJs. Many of the students this year chose to use artist names. The full schedule of sets is as follows:
7:00 – 7:50 pm – DJ CRIB
8:00 – 8:50 pm – Noah Zins (Nastyjam)
9:00 – 9:50 pm – uncatastrophe
10:00 – 10:50 pm – NTG
11:00 – 11:50 pm – Anplode
12:00 – 12:50 am – Bearded Beats
This event gives audio production and technology students an opportunity to demonstrate their skills and hard work in front of a live community audience. The event is also part of a unique and longstanding carnival tradition of combining art and science to create music. Over the last 20 years, the students from the MTU Audio Engineering Society have designed and sculpted their outdoor speaker system from snow and ice. Although some plywood is used to hold the speakers, the rest of the structure is essentially a functional, freestanding snow sculpture.
More information can be found on the MTU Audio Engineering Society website, or the official 2023 Winter Carnival webpage.
