- Peoria, Illinois ELECTRONIC MUSICIANS BLOW OWN HORN
----------------
To help advertise their own talents, a group of electronic musicians
have banded together and to produce their own publication, The Computer
Musician Coalition, who describe themselves as 'the nation's computer
music enthusiasts users group' has introduced 'Ear Candy.'
The publication describes electronic music compositions by electronic
music artists, and appears to concentrate primarily on instrumentals
composed using MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) technology,
although vocal offerings are also listed.
Volume One is a 30-page offering, listing at least 18 artists and their
works. Most artists have their own page which describes the music on
offer, and the individual tape prices, which range from $5 to $20.
The descriptions of the music are unique. Sally Daley's 'From Death To
Life' is described as "...a fusion of things... contemporary Classical,
the Romanticism resembling Mahler, plus a feeling of the beyond which is
realized in the sound effects used. Parts of it, especially sections 3
and 5, can be used very well as background for guided meditation."
The Ear Candy catalog is available through music and computer stores,
and a year subscription is priced at $5 for six issues. A sample issue
costs $1 which covers postage and handling. All compositions listed in
the catalog can be purchased direct from the Computer Musician
Coalition.
More information on how to get electronic compositions listed in Ear
Candy, or how to order the catalog, can be obtained from Ron Wallace at
Computer Musician Coalition, 1024 W.Willcox Ave., Peoria, IL 61604. The
telephone number is 309-685-4843.
