[tintin]

Announcing the New York City Electroacoustic Music Festival.

This year happening June 2nd through 8th at Abrons Arts Center in Lower
Manhattan.  Next week for seven days straight!

The festival charter is to present multi-channel electronic music by
composers from all over the world.  Works include pure electroacoustic
compositions balanced by hybrid works with live musicians, video and dance.
The Playhouse presents 8 channel audio, the Underground Theater presents 6
channels, the Experimental Theater presents 16 channels.  In addition, we
will have workshops on the weekend and installations throughout the week.

There's a ton of music, but we are conscious that peak attendance may be
during prime-time evening hours of Thursday through Saturday.

Nonetheless, I will briefly call attention to a few events that stand out
from the norm:

  . Andreas Bergsland's work "Jeu de Modes" will feature
    choreographer Robert Wechsler using his Motion Composer Technology, a
    very precise motion tracking system used to generate sound.

    Concert #8 on Tuesday June 3rd @ 8p.

  . Weekend presentations by Chet Udell on eMotion, a wireless controller.

    Main sessions are Saturday and Sunday evening @ 5.30p, with
    Q&A Sunday morning @ 11a.
