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.

The pie is in the oven

Things are getting interesting at the SonoCast kitchen, and therefore, we have decided to leave the pie a bit longer in the oven, and let that crust get the golden tone that it deserves and that we all will eventually enjoy...
The new (and 'final") launch date is JANUARY 1st, 2008, and episodes will be produced and posted EVERY THREE WEEKS...
in the coming days I will be posting the menu for the debut show, and some insight in the coming ones, as well as tips of HOW YOU CAN BECOME PART of this adventure.
