We (Daniela Swarowsky & Mariette Groot) want to inform you about a new
music-series called Xperiment>L, focussing on women in the electronic
music field to take place in spring/ fall of 2004 in Rotterdam/Holland.

Each of the 5 planned evenings will feature sound artists as well as
film/video works. Workshops and lectures will encompass the events and a
symposium, where the position of women in the electronic music field will
be discussed and compared to their position in other (art) fields, is in
planning.

As our budget will be low, we are looking for possible collaborations
with other presenters in order to be able to invite women we are
interested in.

Dates so far are: Wed, 14.04.04
Wed, 12.05.04
Wed. 16.06.04
Wed. 15.09.04
Wed, 13.10.04
