The Oscillations Music Society is Atlantic Canada’s principal organization

focused on presenting and promoting electroacoustic music.

To date, we have presented The Oscillations Festival of Electroacoustic Music in 2003, 2005, and 2008; a special concert celebrating the 60th anniversary of Pierre Schaeffer's Concert de Bruits; and the first Canadian Mix of the world-wide 60x60 project.

Our past event partners have included the Canadian Electroacoustic Community, the Atlantic Region of the Canadian Music Centre, Acadia University, suddenlyLISTEN, Vox Novus, Saint Mary’s University Art Gallery, and Amici della Musica di Cagliari.

In addition to planning our own events, we continue to advocate for the inclusion of electroacoustic music in other concerts, new music festivals, and classroom curricula.
