Monday Roundup #186

Community notes:

  • Musicworks' annual Electronic Music Composition Contest is now open. "Compose/submit an experimental piece in any electronic-music genre—acousmatic, electroacoustic, glitch, soundscape, intelligent dance music (IDM), turntable art, video music et. al.... The contest is open to entries from anyone located anywhere in the world and from artists at any age or stage of career." It costs $30 to enter, but the cool part is that entry comes with a one-year subscription to the magazine, so you're actually getting a good deal!
