eContact! 21.1 — Take Back the Stage: Live coding and laptop orchestras
For many electroacoustic composers and sound artists, coding and programming are by no means new concepts. However, their manifestation as an aspect of live performance has proven an engaging development over the past decade. The Laptop Orchestra configuration is commonly encountered in live coding contexts. Deadline for submissions: extended to 1 February 2021.

Recent Activities
20.3
Shortwave Radio, CD Players, the Inner Ear and Waltzing Goldfish: Medium-specific practices in sound
Theoretical discussions of medium specificity within electroacoustic and sonic art disciplines often draw on individualized works definitively bound to a singular medium. In practice, however, artists engage with the idea through a somewhat broader reflection on practices, projects and processes that prove challenging or impossible to “translate” into another medium.

eContact! 19.3 — Notation for Electroacoustic and Digital Media
