The Center was founded in the 1950s as the Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Center. The CMC is housed on 125th Street in New York City. It consists of a large graduate research facility specializing in computer music and multimedia research, as well as a number of composition and recording studios for student use. Projects to come out of the CMC since the 1990s include: Real-Time Cmix PeRColate dorkbot artbots The Computer Music Center has no degree program of its own, and draws students from throughout the Columbia community, primarily from the departments of music, computer science, electrical engineering, visual arts, film, intellectual property law, and psychology.

  • Le Columbia Princeton Electronic Music Center (CPEMC) est un centre de recherche musicale américain, qui a vu le jour en 1955 et qui a été rattaché à l’Université de Colombia Princeton. Vladimir Ussachevsky et Otto Luening, les fondateurs du Centre, débutent leurs travaux en 1951. Au début, le centre de recherche ne disposait que d'un magnétophone et se situait dans l'appartement d'Ussachevsky. Il a ensuite été rattaché à l'Université de Colombia Princeton, qui leur a ensuite alloué un local au sous-sol d'un de ses immeubles. En 1959, il sera inauguré sous la tutelle de l’Université en tant que Columbia Princeton Electronic Music Center (C.P.E.M.C. ) . Les subsides de l’Université leur permettront d’acquérir les synthétiseurs RCA, une grande innovation technique qui entrainera l’implantation de ces centres de recherche au sein des universités américaines. Ce nouveau modèle instrumental sera d'importance. Milton Babbitt l'utilisera pour ses pièces de sérialisme généralisé. David Tudor, Christian Wolff, John Cage et Morton Feldman furent des adeptes de cette hybridation des matériaux concrets et électroniques.
