BEAMS has a compilation record released on the IFAR music label:
The Boreal Electroacoustic Music Society (BEAMS) is a non-profit society
dedicated to the promotion and production of sound art, experimental
music and new media. Its membership consists of professional musicians,
composers and performance artists from diverse backgrounds driven to
create a voice for sound orientated art in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and
beyond
For 33 years, BEAMS' philosophy is that of inclusion. This has allowed
us to explore a wide range of artistic expression through our events,
which have ranged from improvisers, modular synth music, noise music,
electroacoustic music, interactive art and to video art. It is always
interesting!
BEAMS is intent on fostering local fledgling and established artists through the sponsoring of new original works.

Hey BEAMERS,
Come hang out with us this Saturday on twitch for Across The TownAverse, a NinJam show! Sponsored by AMAAS
NinJam is a free open source software that allows anyone to get
together and jam or perform live over the internet. You can learn more
about it here:
https://www.cockos.com/ninjam/
Our first performers The Kaon'CPTs is a whole new take to this shows
concept, cranking it up a level by making it a virtual experience. We
will be broadcasting to Twitch but you will also have the option to
enter
Mozilla Hubs
where you will be able to walk around and explore the digital world
they created and even contribute to shows audio if you choose.
The Kaon'CPTs is an ephemeral band dedicated to flip along several time
realities. Undecided, their action oscillates, alternates from physical
to virtual, hesitates between now, before and later. Previous activities
include synchronized network music, implementing timecode-based
behaviours and listening to buffer underflows in interactive
cyberworlds. Actually, nothing periodically unusual can affect
Kaon'CPT's conservation of entropy.
The first half of their performance will be Perripplayear. A musical
immersive comprovisation for N remotely comprovising musicians and any
instrumentation in a virtual 3D world.
All this comes from distance, symbiosis, lack, virtual choreography,
simultaneous instants, drifting clocks & musical texture. Social
tropism leads them to perform where the light can shine in the forest of
live togetherness software. Unfolded into three different time layers,
the audience is invited inside a virtual world, being copresent as
avatars with the Kaon'CPT & friends. At the border of the software
forest, your browser is here, regardless the shape of your vehicle be it
a smartphone, a tablet, a computer or VR headset.
If you would like to learn more you can go here:
http://kaoncpt.art/
The second half of the show you will hear electro-acoustic performances by:
Gozu Mezu and the galactic explorer
And
Abram Hindle and Daryl Posnett
Can't wait to see you all there and hang out in the chat!
