[ivan bachev <navmemo@xxxxxxxxx>]

For composers in the field of electronic music,
electroacoustics, and expanded media.
Max Brand, composer and electronics pioneer
(1896-1980), stipulated in his will that the future
proceeds
from performances of his works be used to fund a prize

electronic music, electroacoustics, or expanded media.

Euro 5,000, and will be presented on Max Brand?s
birthday
on April 26, 2003 as part of "moving patterns,? a
week-long program of electronic music, at the Austrian
Cultural Forum in New York.

the public domain. He recognized the potential of new
production technologies. His versatile work methods

lighting, theater, advertising, etc.)

popular music
