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.

Soundscape Studies is a field that was born in Vancouver through the World Soundscape Project under the direction of R. Murray Schafer in the early seventies.

The International Forum for Young Composers was conceived and established by the Nouvel Ensemble Moderne.

This two-CD set from 1997 reissues Phil Nimmons five-part work, Atlantic Suite and the 17-minute Suite P.E.I., which was part of an obscure Canadian sampler LP, and adds a full CD of previously unreleased material.

4 groups, 4 full-length CDs: that’s the groundbreaking concept behind this specially priced box set from No Type to celebrate the burgeoning and already quite bewildering Montréal free improv scene.
