2009by performing music or

the jam sessions, or by volunteering to help with various tasks. Please
see How to
Participate for instructions.
The majority of the activities at electro-music
2009(TM) will be contributions of members of electro-music.com, an international community of
composers and musicians that share a passion for electro-music.
electro-music.com is a place where artists and musicians
meet, collaborate, support each other, sell CDs, and nurture their
audiences. The community exists to create its own critical mass; to
enable its members to develop music on their own terms. Electro-music is new music; still undefined;
happening all over our planet. Electro-music is the natural result of techno/social
trends: the availability of low-cost powerful electronic music
technology, and the communication revolution enabled by the internet. Electro-music is not defined by a particular style or
sound, but by its primary motivation being the joy of creation, and the
love of electronic sounds. It can be slow and spacey, or fast and
rhythmic; it crosses many genres.
A special forum
on electro-music.com has been set up to plan
this event. Here our members can share what they would like to
contribute, and make suggestions.
Location:
The Star
Lake Camp is a beautiful, rustic retreat in Northern New Jersey.
