about

On October 15th & 16th, 02022, EDME hosted a New Music Festival in Eugene, Oregon, USA, Earth.

It was amazing.

Our Sunday matinee at First Christian Church was an Audience Participation show. Earlier in 02022, we sent out a call for new music scores that engaged with audience members as participants. Of many received, we chose eight.* This album is the aural document of that wonderful afternoon and those lovely eight scores. These works
invite everyone to be a part of the music and the making, bringing back to music its original purpose of community building and human bonding. Hear us! Hear yourselves!

Because this was an Audience participation show, all but one of the tracks** are presented in two parts. The first part is the introduction, when we explained to the audience how they would be involved. We provide this so that you can better hear the conceptuality and engagements in the works. The context, hopefully, gives them greater depth. The introduction is followed by the performance.
The tracks feature the original program notes and bios from each composer, as well as the performers.

For those in a hurry, starting at Track 14 we present just the performances in the order they were performed, without the introductions, for those who want just to hear the music, the strange new music.

Also tune into our radio show The Sound Of Curiosity on www.bewaretheradio.com to hear biweekly interviews with and more music by the composers featured in this and future festivals.
Shows are archived on www.mixcloud.com/BewareTheRadio/

Finally, we want to share what our Executive Director, JP Lempke wrote in the program notes for the events:

Welcome to EDME’s first annual New Music Festival!
Our weekend of events is about variety and diversity. Featuring a
broad spectrum of voices and an intriguing number of styles, the
Festival’s three concerts have something for everyone. Whether you
like electronic peculiarities, video projections complementing sonic
landscapes, cozy gallery spaces, or even the chance to play along
with trained musicians, there’s a musical setting for you. We hope
to create a unique experience for our listeners and introduce the
local community to new and innovative means of making
music. As our mission states: “The Eugene Difficult Music
Ensemble performs and commissions underrepresented
experimental works in order to open ears and minds. We work to
expand the definition of what music can be and what music is
capable of achieving, as well as who is capable of achieving it.”

Come hear performances of electronic music and performance art
by our guest artists in the Farmer’s Market Pavilion Plaza. Robert
Long’s psychedelic projections will accompany their sets on the
outer wall of the Pavilion. Our audience participation concert
invites trained and untrained musicians alike to make beautiful
sounds together at First Christian Church. At our last concert in
the New Zone Gallery, EDME’s musicians and many guests have
worked hard to prepare scored works by living composers,
everything from solos to ensemble pieces. Some are purely acoustic
and others are concoctions of traditional instruments with
electronics. Regardless of which show you attend (or even if you
attend all of them!), we have plenty of strange new music to share!

This festival is the result of countless hours of organizing,
fundraising, practicing, volunteering, and rehearsing among EDME
members and guest musicians. It is made possible through the
support of the local community. These include the individuals,
non-profits, and other organizations who gave us time, money,
space, and equipment, as well as local businesses who donated to
our cause. We thank them for helping us turn our vision into a
reality!
Enjoy the shows!

* The opening performance, Humanity: From Survival To Revival by Cecilia Suhr, is not included, as it real-time audiovisual interaction work that does not translate to audio only.

** For Jessie Lause's track Hidden Variables no introduction is provided as the audio during the intro was drowned by a passing truck. The audience participation consisted of the audience viewing the two graphic scores that two different units of EDME were interpreting (without being able to see the other group's score) and being able to guess which group was doing what.
