SEAH, the Czech Republic's electroacoustic music society, was established in 1990
after the Revolution of 1989. SEAH, currently eighty members strong, a member
of ICEM and in close contact with the ICMA, IDEAMA and IDEA organizes many
activities in the promotion and diffusion of its members' electroacoustic
compositions, and electroacoustic music in general.
It organizes concerts throughout the entire Republic, i.e., the first night
concert series of which there are about four per year, and partakes in numerous
festivals including Bratislava's FEM, Bourges's Synthese, and GEM's Elektronischer Fruhling in Austria. SEAH also
cooperates with other media societies, such as the Union of Czech Computer and
Multimedia Artists, with whom it organizes concerts. SEAH is following the
world's trend by presenting concerts in unusual venues such as planetariums,
theaters and clubs. A very important activity of SEAH as part of its cooperation
with Audiovisual Studio F - the electroacoustic music
studio at the Czech Radio in Prague - and other
studios, including those abroad, is the initiation of new electroacoustic
music by its members. Members' electroacoustic music
genres include pieces for tape, solo musician and ensemble and tape, live electroacoustic music, computer animation, operas, ballets,
film, music for television, and music for exhibition shows and other
multimedia.
SEAH's annual highlight
is its international electroacoustic music composition
competition, MUSICA NOVA,
first in 1969. SEAH has also released its first and second CD, Czech Electroacoustic Music.
