How to Participate

Anyone can participate in electro-music 2009 by joining the jam sessions, giving a demonstration, or volunteering to help with various tasks.

The electro-music festival provides a unique opportunity for musicians and electronic artists to present or perform their material for an enthusiastic and supportive audience. To give a musical or visual performance, presentation, seminar, or workshop follow the instructions below. There are a limited number of time slots available. Artists will be selected from applications received by June 30, 2009.

We regret that we cannot provide compensation for artists, or pay for travel expenses. Artists who want to attend the festival (other than their own performance) will need to purchase tickets. Available ticket packages include food and lodging for one or three days. We strongly encourage full participation: plan to attend for all three days to support your fellow artists and to contribute to the sense of community. This makes the event more enjoyable for everyone.

1. Send an email here notifying us of your desire to participate in electro-music 2009 (don't erase the subject - that's how we know that you have read this page.)
2. Let us know the artist name under which you will perform. If you are part of a group, include the number and names of the other members who will be attending.
3. If you wish to perform a musical set, please send us an example of your music, or a link to a sample that we can download or listen to. (If you played at a previous electro-music festival, you can skip this step, unless you have new material that you would like us to hear.)
4. If you want to give a presentation, demo etc. give us a short description of your topic.
5. Let us know if you have any special requirements for equipment, staging, or setup time. (There will be a PA system, microphone, and projector in each room.)
6. We cannot promise specific time slots, but if you have schedule restrictions we will try to accommodate them. Please realize that if your availability is too restrictive, you may reduce your chance of being selected.
7. If you have physical materials for us to review (CDs, DVDs, press kit) send to the following address:
