The Web's first virtual new music festival is online for 2009:

"In Search of Lost Time" is by far the most diverse and elaborate Nu Mu [sic!] Unlimited festival so far, and I'm extremely impressed with both the quality and stylistic range of the music by our featured and guest composers. The festival offers visitors twenty-five videos based mostly on public domain films from the "silent" era, all provided with fascinating new scores conceived by extraordinarily imaginative musical minds from around the world.

Nu Mu [sic!] Unlimited is intended to give tonal and non-tonal composers alike an opportunity to expand their creative range by moving beyond their "comfort" zones to explore imagery and sound worlds with which they may have had little previous experience. We hope their explorations of sight and sound in multiple dimensions of time will, in turn, reward the public with fresh ideas and insights about the relationship between cinema and music.

Please help spread the word about "Nu Mu" to your friends and family, and do feel free to comment in our Yahoo! Group forum:

You might also enjoy our second annual "Halloween" event--Ye New Music Fayre, a virtual celebration of the presence of the past featuring new music composed in traditional forms and styles by living composers:

We look enthusiastically forward to your participation!

Cordially.

Nu Mu [sic!] Unlimited 2009, the world's first virtual new music festival, offers composers of tonal and non-tonal music the opportunity to exchange roles and create music for silent film clips to be premiered on our web pages October 31, 2009 (Halloween).

For details about this annual new music event and how you can participate, please see our FAQ web page:

http://www.deliansociety.org/nu_mu_09_faq.html

There are still places for up to ten primarily non-tonal composers, two primarily tonal composers, and three composers of any or no persuasion who simply have something interesting they'd like to contribute. There's no entry fee or competitive selection process: those accepted will simply be the first composers to declare their intention to take part through our e-mail link at the above URL.

There are plenty of fascinating public domain silent movie clips available on the Web from which to choose, and as long as you can produce your own mp3 or MIDI files, you have all the expertise you'll need.

We look forward to your participation!
