DEGEM-News

This concert forms the impressive conclusion of this year’s DEGEM meeting, the annual meeting for the members of the Deutsche Gesellschaft fuer Elektroakustische Musik [German society for electroacoustic music]. Since its founding in 1991, DEGEM has supported electroacoustic music domestically and internationally. This means, among other things, organizing symposia on the subject, holding concerts, and producing publications and sound recordings. Once a year the members of the group meet for a mutual informational exchange. This year ZKM has provided a forum for composers, musicians, musicologists, sound technicians, and sound masters to discuss new developments and ideas. The list of participants reads like a »who’s who« of new music in Germany. The evening program will be similarly substantial. The audience will be treated to a presentation of the latest works of composers specially selected by a jury.
