Concordia University, Loyola Campus

The sixth annual electroacoustic festival produced by EuCuE, and the Department of Music of Concordia University will once again present seven concerts of very recent compositions from around the world. As previously, Mid-autumn Harvest Moon concerts are made up exclusively of works in four, five, six, seven and eight channels, each preceded by a short sonically illustrative introduction.

Works dating from the early 1970s to September 2009 reflect the panorama of styles and aesthetics prevalent in the discipline over the past thirty-five years from glitch, microsound, and acousmatic, to algorithmic invention, many with a video component.

For these concerts, the ten speakers are placed around the audience so as to create a range of sound experiences, from the pointedly directional nature of four or more points of sound to the immersive qualities of otherworldly acoustics.
