[Emsan-l] EMSAN Day 2009

[Battier Marc]

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

I am glad to inform you that the date of our next EMSAN meeting has  
been set.

The first international EMSAN symposium took place under the auspices  
of CEMC during the 2008 Musicacoustica Festival in Beijing. It has  
been very successful in attracting composers and researchers from  
across East Asia.

As a follow up, this year's CEMC/EMSAN Day will take place on Octobre  
28, 2009, during Beijing's Musicacoustica Festival. As was discussed  
in 2008, an important item on EMSAN's agenda is the publication of  
research. The topic of this year's meeting will be:

Publication of research on Asian electroacoustic music - history,  
practices and esthetical trends

Following the meetings during the EMS conference in Paris and the  
CMEC/EMSAN Day in Beijing, EMSAN is now engaged in preparing two  
publications.

The first project is a book on the history, trends and esthetics of  
electroacoustic music in East Asia. The collective book will be  
published in the USA in the EMF Media (Electronic Music Foundation)  
collection of which I am  the director with Joel Chadabe.

The second project would be to prepare articles for a professional  
journal about East Asian EA music (with the possibility of sound  
examples). Ken Fields and I would serve as co-editors.

For these two important projects, we need to lay the groundwork of  
the contents and the structure.

There will soon be messages with additional information about the  
meeting.

The CMEC/EMSAN Day 2009 will also be the occasion to present and  
discuss the progress of EMSAN (and particularly the database in  
Taiwan) and of LABs (in Korea and in Japan).

Please reserve the date of Octobre 28 for the CEMC/EMSAN Day. Thank you.

Best regards,


Marc Battier
