"Dushume - Lockdown Noise

Undisturbed, mangled and discarded recordings from the archives will be unearthed to coalesce with thumping and erratic grooves of the Radical Nails sound-making object. Sounds will cook through extreme live performance, and by improvising with the studio recordings/turntables through ad-hoc extended DJ techniques. Extensive re-editing approaches of sounds from a range of differing spectrums are intertwined and mashed-up; expect a buffet of experimental harsh sounds, pulses, noise, drones, clicks, rhythms and bass. Fundamentally, anticipating the result in form of a mixtape to reference and playback on demand at a later date."

EMS20 conference postponed to 2021

After careful consideration and accepting our new unfortunate reality for what it is, the Electroacoustic Music Studies Network Directors along with the Scientific Committee for EMS20 have taken the decision to move EMS20 to EMS21 which will take place in June 2021, dates to be determined.

All proposals that have been/will be accepted for EMS20 will automatically be accepted for EMS21. Nonetheless, we shall send out a call, as always, for new submissions sometime this autumn, assuming that a semblance of normal life has returned. The conference theme and breadth of thematic subjects will not be altered.

All information will be made available on the EMS Network site: www.ems-network.org.

On behalf of all of us, we wish you all great strength and good health during this unique and anguishing period.
