The Truman State University Department of Music invites creators of electronic music to submit works for inclusion in the 2016 New Horizons Music Festival. This year’s festival will include a venue for fixed media 2-channel audio works.
These pieces will play in the Truman State University Art Gallery the week of October 3-8 and will be listed in the Festival program along with composer bios and program notes. The presentation format will be computer playback with display of title and composer of the work currently playing.
During the Festival the Gallery will be exhibiting works by Aaron Fine, which will be a visual context for the music. Some representative works are shown below.
The New Horizons Music Festival will be held on the Truman campus on Friday evening October 7th and Saturday, October 8th.
