This association organises the yearly Electroacoustic Music Days since 2002, which is a three-days' concert forum in collaboration with Higher Education Institutions developing programs on electroacoustic music and can set up a proper sound-diffusion system for this kind of music (Music Department - Corfu, Dep.of Acoustics and Music Technology - Rethymno, Dep. of Technology of sound and Musical Instruments - Lixouri). Some of these pieces are included in the double CD "54 Electroacoustic Miniatures"

CONCERT 3
For over twenty years, the creative relationship of music with current electro-acoustic technologies has been developing at the Ionian University, initially at the Music Department - through EPHMEE - and then, ten years later, additionally at the Department of AudioVisual Arts. The composers who focus their teaching and research on the arts and technologies of sound in Corfu today are a creative group whose work covers all dimensions and directions of electro-acoustic music. This concert presents samples of the resent artistic production of these composers-researchers, namely Filippos Theoharidis, Apostolos Loufopoulos, Theodoros Lotis, Andreas Mniestris, Orestis Karamanlis and Ioannis Zannoς.
