Sonocast is Hosted at Mevio.com

WELCOME TO SONOCAST, A podcast show devoted to contemporary Computer and Electroacoustic music. Every 3 weeks, we will present some gems out of a varied collection of archives, unreleased pieces and live cuts from the world of the avant-garde electroacoustic music scene.

Guests, and some helpful tech tips for the computer music creators of the XXI century will also be in the menu...

Start: JANUARY 1, 2008


The show will present 2 or 3 music excerpts on each edition: a 'milestone' piece, a live performance of a new piece and/or an unreleased gem from the orbit of the main computer music and electro-acoustic music centers of Europe, North, Center and South America. To introduce the pieces, each show will have a guest MC... The codename for each show will be the guest's name (or absence of it).... all wrapped up tightly in 40 mins. every month.
