Présence II is an appropriate title for the Canadian Electroacoustic Community (CEC)/Productions Electro Productions (PeP) latest two compact disc set of electroacoustic compositions.

Twenty-three composers from around the world, most of whom have never met face to face, have joined together through the good graces of the CEC to prepare a self-funded compilation CD. This like-minded, aesthetically variant group share the historical desire to distribute the fruits of their labors.

This disc is more than a collection of short pieces; it presents a synthesis of new electroaccoustic creation as it is practised in all its forms. - Jean-François Denis & Claude Schryer
