FEBRUARY 15th, 2023  ZINE LAUNCH

EDME's zine, the "Fake Music Book," has officially launched its first issue at Community Cup Coffee in downtown Eugene. This launch issue includes text-based and graphic scores by EDME members, and subsequent issues will expand their reach to composers outside the group. We produce limited numbers of each edition, and they are only available in print at rotating locations throughout the city on a monthly basis.

OCTOBER 15th-16th, 2022  FIRST ANNUAL NEW MUSIC FESTIVAL

EDME musicians, guest artists, and visiting performers premiered a successful three-concert music series in downtown Eugene, bringing a variety of musical and multi-media experiences to the community. The opening show on Saturday evening featured performances by groups and individuals as diverse as M Denney and Aine Nakamura, as well as the local duo Free Static. The colorful projections of Robert Long illuminated the Farmer's Market Pavilion by capturing and transforming the movements of audience members into flowing visuals. Our Sunday shows highlighted a colorful set of audience participation works at First Christian Church, and the final concert presented solo and ensemble works at New Zone Gallery. All shows were free and open to the public.

For more details, check out our page on the festival. A huge thanks to our supporters for making the festival possible! If you'd like to help us put together our festival next year, give once a month through our Patreon or one time through PayPal.
