Dialogue De L’ombre Double – IEM Migration

Integra Migrations

As technology changes and new standards are introduced, pieces that rely on specific hardware or software can be left behind, condemned to a struggle for survival. Many important and exciting works from the past forty years are currently not performed because they use obsolete technology. We have been trying to help remedy this problem by transferring pieces that use outmoded equipment to more modern platforms. In doing so, we hope to ensure the future for these works and bring them back into the mainstream concert repertoire.

During the period 2005 – 2008, sixteen pieces were migrated to sustainable platforms. Please click on the tabs above to learn more. If you would like to programme one of the pieces, please contact tom.cahill-jones@bcu.ac.uk for information on how to obtain the performing materials.

During the period 2008 – 2011 we will be migrating at least ten significant works from the European repertoire to our Integra Live software. As pieces are completed they will be listed above, with supporting documentation.

For additional information, please check the bookcase in our community section, where we will be adding a collection of papers on the preservation and transfer of music that uses live electronics.
