Auld Lang Syne Goes Underground
By Laura Kelly
Each year, CMU rings in the New Year with a rendition of "Auld Lang Syne." This year, faculty and students involved with Exploded Ensemble and Activated Anamorphs from the College of Fine Arts, School of Computer Science, the BXA Intercollege Degree Programs and Integrative Design, Arts and Technology (IDeATe) Network brought School of Music graduate student Jacob Randall Holmes' arrangement to life. The performance was filmed during the "SubSurface: Site-Specific Sight & Sound" festival, hundreds of feet below the surface in a limestone mine in Brady's Bend, Armstrong County.
