Festival Forum Wallis: Ars Electronica Forum Wallis 2026 Concert Selection, Part 2

PROGRAMME
 
The Ars Electronica Forum Wallis 2026 Selection Concerts are concert programmes featuring acousmatic (electroacoustic) music performed on the 16-channel Acusmonium at the MEbU (Münster Earport) in Münster/Goms. The programme comprises pieces by the competition winners of the 11th Call for Acousmatic Works by the Forum Wallis Festival for New Music (http://forumwallis.ch): a total of 1,826 works by 157 composers from 42 countries and all continents were submitted. Twenty-four works made it into the final selection, whilst a further 17 received a Special Mention. The programmes will be performed by Simone Conforti (IRCAM Paris) and UMS’nJIP.

The special and unique listening experience at the 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 Akusmonia in Europe. 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), which established itself in Münster/Goms in 2022.
