Event description:
The opening event will take place at Concordia's Music Department with seminars and live and fixed media concerts in an open house atmosphere.
The CEC was founded 25 years ago in response to the needs and concerns of the growing community of electroacoustic composers and artists across Canada. Concordia University's Music Department provided foundational support for several years of diligent work and coordination by Kevin Austin and Jean-François Denis leading up to the CEC's founding in 1986, as well as infrastructural support for many years thereafter.
Now 25 years on, the CEC is respected across the country and internationally for the openness and inclusive nature of its many projects and for its support and promotion of the whole gamut of electroacoustic and related practices. Returning to its roots to launch this cross-country tour to celebrate its 25th anniversary, the CEC invites the public to an open house in the new home and facilities of Concordia's Music Department. Multi-channel classrooms and studios, video tie-ins and much more make this a state-of-the-art department with broad support for electroacoustic creation.
