This is a great site which contains catalogues of electro-acoustic works.

The URL is: http://www.kgw.tu-berlin.de/EMDoku/EMIntro-E.html

" The present database has been developed tenaciously over the past several years, always dependent on available funds and personnel. Documentation began as a research project at the Elektronische Studio of the Technical University Berlin in 1988, the year in which Berlin was named the Cultural Capital of Europe (hence the original limitation to documenting only European electroacoustic music). Research funding was provided at that time within the framework of a related project called "Werkstatt Berlin 1988". A second step was taken in conjunction with the INVENTIONEN '90 festival, instigating an initial public presentation at the International Computer Music Conference (ICMC) in Glasgow. The most extensive assistance was granted by INVENTIONEN '92, allowing us to print the first documentation in book-form. A subsequent publication is now available with the support of the GEMA-Foundation and the Siemens Kultur Programm at Pfauverlag under ISBN 3-930735-59-8.

These four stages of financial support have been accompanied by parallel stages in communication and organisation: The first stage was more or less directed toward expanding the commendable documentation already undertaken by Hugh Davies in 1967. This phase of work eventually gave rise to a database oriented compilation. This form of documentation is by nature constantly in flux, with the never-ending addition of new information and works. The first data base version was created on HyperCard; all subsequent versions were realised with FileMakerPro. Most recently, we have integrated information taken with kind permission from:

"Electro-CD", RĂ©pertoire 1998 edited by Annette Vande Gorne and INA-GRM Paris
The National catalogue of studios in Italy, edited by Nicola Sani,
The National catalogue of studios in Spain, edited by Gabriel Brncic.

The "International Documentation of Electroacoustic Music" is directed foremost to music researchers concerned with the "serious music" category of contemporary music, as well as to composers in this musical genre, and to co-workers in numerous studios world-wide. Through these individuals and interest groups, it is hoped that an ever-widening contact will be made with music producers and organisers, with editors of publishing houses, radio establishments, newspapers, etc., with libraries and training centres, and with all other interested parties the world over.

Our documentation is intended as a reference book which notes, from a present viewpoint, the current state of information in this case fixed in the end of the year 1998. It is hoped that with the help of our publications and through user and reader response, this information will improve, expand and become ever more complete. The documentation is by nature a "work in progress", with new works and studios constantly being added and with a constant need for updating and correction. "


OK.. I confess.. I marked that line red myself. Anyway.. the site is interesting. If you guys find anything missing or stuff which is wrong.. the editors would love to get the info.
