[Noisebridge-discuss] Fwd: Invitation to EMPAC’s presentation at CCRMA -- they're hiring

[Brian Molnar]

I went to school at RPI, but unfortunately wasn't around when this was
completed. Though I got to go back and get a tour. Really cool facility.

RPI's mostly an engineering school with not a lot of artistic outlet. So
most of the artistic projects they do end up being highly geeked-out.
