The CEAM Artists platform is one of the activities of the Center for Electroacoustic Music (CEAM). The platform’s primary idea is to facilitate collaboration between young musicians, experienced contemporary music performers, and various creative teams. Together with engineers, media artists, and sound designers, they explore new forms of technological interaction and artistic practice in the domain of electroacoustic and multimedia composition. This includes working with microphones and various technical means, experimenting with sound and new electroacoustic instrumentation, and working with media.
The CEAM Artists soloists gave their first concert at the Biomechanics Festival at the Rachmaninoff Hall of the Conservatory in February 2022 and have been major participants there ever since. The ensemble’s soloists have participated in several festivals, including New Classics (Moscow), Five Evenings (Moscow), reMusik.org (St. Petersburg), Sotvorchestvo (Saratov), Kruzheva (Vologda), and Biomechanics (Moscow). They have given concerts in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Perm, Surgut, Yekaterinburg, and Nizhny Novgorod.
An important aspect of the platform is its educational activity: CEAM Artists’ soloists deliver lectures and masterclasses, sharing their unique expertise in this field.
CEAM Artists’ repertoire includes works by Russian and foreign composers working with electronics and media. During its existence, CEAM Artists soloists have performed a number of Russian and international electronic and media works.
