Which three UK electroacoustic works changed how you listen to sound?
We want to know what YOU think – and your answer will directly shape a special anniversary concert in March 2026!
The SOUND/IMAGE Research Centre at the University of Greenwich, in collaboration with BEAN (British ElectroAcoustic Network), is inviting composers, listeners, sound artists, and anyone passionate about experimental sound to participate in “Then–Now–Beyond” – a unique community curation project.
Here’s how it works: Complete a short survey (5-10 minutes) suggesting up to 3 electroacoustic or sound art compositions from the UK that have inspired or influenced you. Share why these works matter to you. Your responses will help curate our 10th anniversary concert and contribute to important research celebrating the UK electroacoustic music community
From Daphne Oram to Denis Smalley, from Radiophonic Workshop classics to emerging voices transforming the field today – which compositions best represent the evolution, innovation, and spirit of British electroacoustic music?
This is your chance to champion underrepresented voices, celebrate beloved classics, and help shape how we honour this vibrant creative field.
All responses are anonymous and will inform both the concert programme and academic research into the values and priorities of our community.
