Electro-acoustic music pioneer Barry Schrader has announced his new site, barryschrader.com, featuring audio clips, photos and an online store.

Schrader’s compositions for tape, dance, film, video, mixed media, live/electro-acoustic music combinations, and real-time computer performance have been presented throughout the world. Schrader is also the founder and first president of SEAMUS (Society for Electro-Acoustic Music in the United States). He is also the author of the book Introduction to Electro-Acoustic Music.

According to Schrader, “The site will be changing on a regular basis, particularly the image and download pages, and I’ll be sending a quasi-regular e-mail newsletter announcing what’s new as well as giving information on upcoming concerts, CD releases, and other events.”

Upcoming site features:

• Photos and block diagrams of the “Fortune Modules” built for Schrader in the early 70s by Fukushi Kawakami of Yamaha for use with the Buchla 200 modular system
• Sound file downloads of selections from upcoming releases as well works unavailable on commercial recordings
• Announcements of premieres and other concert events.
