General Information

We are MusicCo and we care a lot about music. Our goal is to provide for an environment on campus where everybody can fulfil their musical needs. We have several projects we are working on to reach this goal.

Musicians Database and Website (Click here to go to the MusicCo website where you can find this information and much more)

One of the main projects, now in place, is the musicians database. The idea is that everybody on campus can sign up on our website and indicate what instrument they play, so that everybody on campus can meet other musicians.
Another thing we want with the website you are on now, is have a platform where everybody can write about music in any way they like. This can range from CD reviews to upcoming events (both on campus and in town), events that have passed, a concert you have been to and anything you can come up with. This means you are welcome to send an entry to UCSA.Musicco@uu.nl if you want to write something related to music.

Equipment for you and Committees
MusicCo is looking after equipement required to make music (think microphones, amplifiers etc.)
This equipment is stored in the UCSA Boardroom, down in Dining Hall, and you can borrow this equipment, personally or as a committee (committees have first right in case of events). Take a look at this form, to see what equipement is available. You will need to fill in such a form at the UCSA Office.

In light of this, we are looking at the aqcuisition of some equipement to enhance stage-related activities on campus such as wireless microphones, and some other things we want to invest in.

Pianos and Music Rooms
MusicCo this year is taking the responsibility over the maintenance of the pianos on campus that many people play daily. We will, as soon as possible, get a professional to tune the pianos that are on campus.

Lastly, a bit more longterm goal is to have a proper Music Room where larger groups of people can practice and make music. This is where the drumkit will be placed by default, and maybe some of the equipment, so you can plug-in your electric guitar and play away. Also one of the piano’s should be located in this room.

Currently there are three pianos on campus, in theory open to everybody, but in practice not. One of them you probably know of, is the one in Locke downstairs. There is another one in a classroom in Voltaire, and a third one in the Beach Party Area. The latter two are in locked places. MusicCo wants to investigate how this situation can be changed so that they are more accessable, and preferably do not cause any nuisance for people living around.
