ELECTRACOUSTMATIC

A message from composer Michael Dobinson: I indicate today (March 9 2011) that I have coined the term electracoustmatic to describe the work I do combining purely electronic, sample acoustic and acoustic musical sources. I claim this for google seems to not be able to find matches for the term at the time I am writing this (11:25am EST, March 9 2011 (whatever calendar it is that claims this is 2011 ... Gregorian or something. I'm an electracoustmatician, not some calendar historitician or whatever calendar studiers are called; what am I some entymologist (assuming that's a person who studies words, and if it's not I meant whatever the real word for word-orinistic studytists are)?)), as demonstrated HERE! Remember, you heard electracoustmatic from me first. Me, the premier electracoustmatician ... premier by dint of being the first and thus only electracoustmatician there is, was or ever shall be. Also, I'm the only one who can bestow the term electracoustmatician on others. Because I say so it is so and so I say making it so.

The 1812 Bicentenary Season Show 1 May 12 2012 7:30pm Zion Lutheran Church 202 Erie Street (Erie St. and St. David St.), Stratford ON. PREVIOUS ELECTRACOUSTMATIC PERFORMANCES: Nov. 12, 2011 8pm Zion Lutheran Church 202 Erie St. Stratford Ontario I'm slacking for this show; I'll just be doing a new electracoustmatic piece and some mere acoustic stuff. Note that the time of the show has been changed to 4pm, afternoon and not evening. The advantage of this is ... dinner and a pub crawl at a reasonable hour. May 28, 2011 8pm Saturday May 28 2011 8pm St. Paul�s Anglican Church Douro and Wellington St. S Stratford Ontario MMMM proudly announces the first show of their 2011 season, the third season of bringing new music to audiences in southwestern Ontario! Since 2009, founding composers Michel Allard, Marco Burak, Michael Dobinson and Michelle Wells have combined their skills as composers, performers and presenters from MMMM's home base in Stratford. Their intention was to showcase works spanning the width and plumbing the depths of new music's varied sounds, styles, aesthetics and methods. In May 2011, works by three of the founding composers will be featured. Marco Burak and Michel Allard will display their skills as both composers and pianists. Michael Dobinson will demonstrate his self-dubbed "electracoustmatic" music, in a work combining the sounds of piano and organ with electronic sounds generated by means ranging from sampling to digital processing to the sounds of a vintage SYNTHI analog synthesizer dating from the early 1970s. MMMM will for the first time feature the works of guest composers along with those of the founders. William Miller will appear as both composer and performer in a work for piano and violin, while second time guest Paul Allard will perform a work for solo flute.
