Documentation and publication of electroacoustic compositions at NEAR

1Score and audio examples are available via http://www.donemus.nl/near/ems05. The documentation and publication of electroacoustic music involves fundamental issues like the role of the composer, the identity of the composition and the preservation, repeatability, reproduction or representation of musical compositions. NEAR publishes only Dutch electroacoustic music, but I hope this paper will stimulate the exchange of ideas and experiences with institutions and individuals in other countries. 1.1 Donemus
