[Voxnovus] Calling for electroacoustic works for Electronic Music Midwest Festival

[Vox Novus List]

Hello All!

I just got back from Michigan where I am the new organization advancement
director for the Electronic Music Midwest Festival.  This is a fantastic
festival that I have attended since 2005.  EMM's mission is to bring
composers together, have them hear each others music, and then socialize
together as a community.  Pretty simple, huh?  Many other festivals I have
been to seem to miss the mark, but not EMM.  (Plus look at their track
record; they helped launch the first 60x60 Midwest mix and have presented
one incarnation of 60x60 or another at every one of their large festivals
since 2005 :)

I want to welcome and encourage all composers, sound artists, electronic
musicians to submit to EMM.  And then we can all hang out together in Kansas
City this september and eat a little barbecue together.  

Thanks,

Rob
