THE INDEPENDENT ELECTRONIC MUSIC CENTER, INC.

We are pleased to announce the establishment of the
Independent Electronic Music Center, incorporated as
a non-profit organization. The Center is a completely
autonomous affiliate of the R. A. Moog Co., manu-
facturers of electronic music composition equipment.

The purposes of the Center are: to introduce and pro-
vide contemporary electronic media for music composi-
tion; and, to stimulate communication among persons
involved in various aspects of electronic music.

The Center hopes to provide a complete range of services
and facilities for composition and. communication.
Included will be:

The Electronic Music Review: a quarterly publica-
tion providing a source of information and a means

of discourse on electronic music among composers,

technicians, teachers, performers, and listeners.

It will present:

- descriptions of the circuitry, construction, and
applications of studio equipment

- information on working methods and techniques

- descriptions of equipment and facilities at
various studios |

- reports of various events, activities, and trends

- articles on aesthetic, theoretic, and analytic
aspects of electronic music

- bibliographies and discographies

- a letter-forum

- news of the development of Center services and
facilities.
The Review will gladly consider manuscripts on any
of the above topics. We invite prospective authors to
request a copy of the leaflet Information for Con-
tributors. The first issue will be published in January
1967, and will contain complete subscription informa-
tion. One free copy will be supplied per personal or
institution departmental request.

Courses of instruction in the principles and use of

contemporary electronic media. The Center is de-
veloping a preparatory curriculum to meet the needs
of interested composers having little or no direct ex-
perience with electronic composition equipment.
These courses, complete with text materials, will con-
sist of lectures, seminars, studio workshops, and possi-
bly guest lectures. A more advanced program (in-
cluding independent studio use) for those who have
completed the preparatory course, as well as for com-
posers having previous studio experience, will also be
provided. Further information will be published in
the Review.
