The project “Electronics meets challenges of the 21st century” is dedicated to the promotion of new technologies applied in contemporary electro-acoustic music. The rise and growth of electro-acoustic music are inextricably linked to the progress of technological civilization, as the latter opens up new regions of aesthetics, performance practice and musical reception, continually posing new challenges to composers, engineers and listeners alike.

The tasks connected with the implementation of this project will culminate in a concert and a conference. The concert, accompanied by a sound installation, is organized together with our Norwegian partner: Norsk nettverk for Teknologi, Akustikk og Musikk (NoTAM) / Norwegian network for Technology, Acoustics and Music.

With the participation of the following speakers and lecturers:
Monty Adkins, Clarence Barlow, Natasha Barret, Gerald Bennet, Franziska Baumann, Kim Cascone, Andrea Cohen, Marek Chołoniewski, Krzysztof Czaja, Lars Petter Hagen, Sergi Jordá, Krzysztof Knittel, Andrzej Kopeć, Stanisław Krupowicz, Katrine Norman, Ian Orlarey, Jadwiga Radkiewicz, Jøran Rudi,. Jean-Claude Risser, Daniel Teruggi, Xavier Serra, Andrei Smirnov, Tadeusz Wielecki, Lidia Zielińska

Register to ARTMUSFAIR 2010

The ways in which societies have perceived the concept of creativity have changed throughout history, as has the term itself. It is no longer enough to be a creator, you will also need to be creative in solving problems and in chosing the right path in promoting future creativity. We believe that the CREATORS NETWORK will be an important platform in addressing these issues. With the ambition to – in a solution-orientated way – highlight the situation and the important questions that the artistic and entertainment communities are facing today, i.e. authors’ rights as well as the future of the industry and technology.

The CREATORS NETWORK is to be launched on 22nd September in Warsaw in the frame of ARTMUSFAIR 2010.

Who can become members?
Members of the CREATORS NETWORK are creators in the broadest sense, as well as their professional organizations. We also welcome a wider spectrum of the creative industries, including publishers, managers, legal advisors, inventors, consumers, legislators. All with the common vision of promoting future creativity.

We are very much looking forward to meeting you in Warsaw in September and to our future joint efforts within the CREATORS NETWORK!

With best regards,
Alfons Karabuda
