Ars Electronica Forum Wallis 2026 Concert Selection, Part 3 Festival Forum Wallis
PROGRAM
The Ars Electronica Forum Wallis 2026 Selection Concerts are concert programs featuring acousmatic (electroacoustic) music performed on the 16-channel Acusmonium at MEbU (Münster Earport) in Münster/Goms. The program consists of pieces by the competition winners of the 11th Call for Acousmatic Works of the Forum Wallis Festival for New Music (http://forumwallis.ch): In 2026, a total of 182 works by 157 composers from 42 countries and all continents were submitted. Twenty-four works made the shortlist, and 17 others received a Special Mention. The programs will be performed by Simone Conforti (IRCAM Paris) and UMS’nJIP.
The special and unique listening experience at MEbU is made possible by an unusual instrument: the Akusmonium—a loudspeaker orchestra developed by the GRM research team in the 1970s at the Maison de Radio France. At MEbU, it is equipped with 16 individually controlled studio loudspeakers. The MEbU Akusmonium is one of the few permanent and publicly accessible Akusmoniums in Europe. The MEbU (Münster Earport) is an art space for contemporary music run by the Ensemble for New Music UMS’nJIP (Ulrike Mayer-Spohn and Javier Hagen) in Münster/Goms. Blackburn Manuella
