We are very pleased to announce that David Holland and Louise Rossiter were selected to represent BEAN/UK at the latest CIME annual general meeting. The meeting, hosted in Krakow by Marek Chołoniewski, featured concerts and talks from members around the world, and was an excellent opportunity to show some of the most exciting works produced in the UK over the past 12 months. Louise Rossiter’s piece – Homo Machina – was subsequently published on the CIME DVD, showcasing works selected by member organisations.

Here is a nice photo of Louise Rossiter performing during the event:

Over the weekend, almost one hundred people registered to attend our EMAS 40th anniversary celebrations, which featured music from many of the UK’s finest composers and discussions from many well known figures in the field. A few initial photographs are included below, but a full set shall follow in due course:

Ambrose Seddon’s piece, Traces of Play, has been published on DVD by the International Confederation of Electroacoustic Music (CIME). Seddon’s piece represented the British ElectroAcoustic Network at the recent CIME AGM, and has subsequently featured on their annual DVD of collected works.

Following our recent ‘call for works’, we are delighted to announce that Manuella Blackburn’s ‘Snap Happy’ was performed in Belgium, at the FeBeME-BeFEM, 12th – 14th Oct. Manuella’s piece was the British ElectroAcoustic Network selection for the concerts drawn from CIME member organisations, as can be seen: here.

We look forward to more activities with our CIME colleagues in the future.
