Number -1

Welcome to Issue Number minus one of the C. E. C. G. Newsletter.

The previous issue of this newsletter went (initially) to about 45

people, with a request for addresses of others. The mailing list

is now close to 150, and growing weekly. Over 95% of ~his list are

composers / composer~organizers. There are still some glaring holes

in the list, particularly the Maritimes and the Prairies,

~ people sent addresses, and I would particularly like to thank

John Winiarz, John Celona, Micheline Coulombe Saint-Marcoux, Wendy

Bartley and Jim Montgomery for their special efforts.

Submissions to the Newsletter are encouraged. Materialsshould be 'photo - ready', and (usually) be able to be reduced to

one-half size. (See the rest of the newsletter.) It is alsopossible to send out information that is received in quantity: please

send 200 copies. (note attached from the Toronto Music Gallery).

Items and articles of personal, local and national interest

will be included, with (for example) a Montreal 'calendar' of up­

coming events. The function of this being two-fold (i) to letpeople know what is going on and (ii) (and more importantly), to

give organizers a rough guide to planned events to avoid conflicts

in the timing, as much as possible. Until a national newsletter

is established, I am offering to do the same for Toronto. Send your

d~tes as soon as they are established, and if possible, even in theirtentative form.

(page 1)

English or French. A preC1S translation will be made, although the

original is to be understood as definitive.

Some topics that have been suggested for 'discussion' areindividual composers' activities, concert organization, performing

rights, tape and performance exchanges, a national organization,

and international organizations. Let me know what you think, and

contribute if you wish.

Programmes and posters will (for now) make up the bulk ofthe newsletter: these are for your information (F.Y.I.).

Thanks,

At 7:00 a small informal supper is planned, so that participantscan prepare themselves properly. Bring enough food for l! peopleas this is a pot-luck supper. Appropriate liquid refreshmentwill be supplied.

At 8:15 the concert will begin, participants having selected thepart that they wish to play, not necessarily played upon thes pe ci fiedin s t rum ent s, (e. g. 2nd. t rum pet played on ka zoo), bya 'play along with Mitch' style performance of the two selectedsymphonies.

WHAT IS LIVEELECTRONIC MUSIC

; 1 T IS NEW MUSIC that engages the~%''!'''' developing technologies on their own

.... terms, music that forecasts andoccasionally determines the direction of thedevelopment of these technologies. IT IS ANART FORM in which technologies are thetools used to open a realm of humandevelopment and expression not previouslyapproachable. IT IS AN AESTHETIC whichboth challenges and incorporates allprevious aesthetics. IT IS A PERFORMANCEMODE in which words like' 'cybernetic"and "interactive" come out of the lab andstrut their stuff upon the stage. Ultimately,it is sound - sound as it has not beenpreviously experienced, sound surroundingand blending with image and humanity toherald a new world.

WHAT IS THECANADIAN CONTRIBUTION

'I t can reasonably be argued that LiveElectronic Music is a Canadianinvention. In the late '40's, there

were three places in the world in which newwork was being done which woulddetermine the course of the brand-new fieldof electronic music. They were Koln, Paris,and Ottawa. FJom the beginning, the centrewhich stressed real-time musical control ofthe parameters of this fledgling art form,that insisted that its rightful place was onthe concert stage and not in the laboratory,was the ELMUS Project of the NationalResearch Council. Under the direction ofHugh LeCaine, the inventor of the voltage­controlled synthesizer, ELMUS developed anumber of live performance instruments tenyears before the first Moog synthesizer.ELM US also pioneered digital control ofanalog synthesis, multi-level real-timesignal processing, and interactivecomputer-driven synthesis. Building on thisfoundation, Canadians in both academic andindependent situations continue to doinnovative and pioneering work on a worldclass scale.

WHAT IS THEMUSIC GALLERY

he Electronic Music Festival is beingpresented by the Music Gallery atthe Ontario Science Centre. The

Music Gallery is a centre for contemporarymusic offering musicians, composers andaudience a broad range of services andprograms designed to foster interest in andpromotion/presentation of all aspects ofcontemporary musical activity. To themusician/composer we offer a complete8-track recording facility and asophisticated electronic music studio thatincludes one of the newest digitalsynthesizers available. Our recordcompany, Music Gallery Editions, has acatalogue of 25 records representing a widerange of Canadian musics including a newseries of indigenous music. A quarterlypUblication, Musicworks, offers a forum fordiscussion and presentation ofcontemporary music from a Canadianperspective. For musician and audience weoffer both a regular concert series of 150concerts a year and a special series ofcommissioned works featuring multi­disciplinary performances and soundinstallations. Access to the studio isavailable.to members, and the concertseries (including the Composers Series,Muse-ic, and the Festival of Live ElectronicMusic) are open to musicians performinginnovative music in the contemporary field.
