CEMC/EMSAN DAY AT MUSICACOUSTICA
"Routes of Asian Electro-acoustic Music: Retrospection and Expectations"
A 1-day International Symposium on Electroacoustic Music Studies in Asia under the auspices of the Center for Electronic Music in China and with the collaboration of Electroacoustic Music Studies Asia Network
Presentation of the CEMC/EMSAN Day
Electroacoustic music is now part of musical culture around the world. In East Asia, its development has taken different routes but it is has flourished and is nourishing the imagination of a large number of musicians. EMSAN is aiming at coordinating and sharing of resources to make this repertory of music better known and understood. One goal of the symposium is to discuss the participation in (1) the project of database or works and (2) a knowledge base of research on compositional techniques. The database and the knowledge base should be approached as research and as pedagogical tools. In addition, such a project would be even more consistent if users could access the actual musical works and, when applicable, scores through local archives or repositories. The EMSAN project, which is kindly hosted by CEMC within Musicacoustica, is developing strategies for these goals. The EMSAN project relies on a networking approach. The current state of the EMSAN project will be introduced before the paper presentations.
