    MusicAcoustic 2005:Mix China Electronic Music Centre, Beijing, China. The transforming soundscape of Beijing offers a heavy 'Mix' of old and modern voices; where the old hutong and modern skyscrapers Mix amidst a hurried development frenzy. The Conference invites research and concerts inquiring along a broad vector that traverses the aesthetics of Organized Sound, Electro-Acoustics (with Chinese and Western Instruments), Microsound, Coding Experimentation and Phonography. With modern China as a backdrop, a Mix of the traditional and new in computer/electronic/laptop music is an appropriate thematic, where an old/young city/country is experimenting with its own emerging unique voice on the global music scene. Chinese composers and academics come together once a year to plan future directions for the development of computer music in China and to learn/exchange with their international guests.
    Pathiharn Electron Media Festival Chiang Mai/Bangkok, Thailand and Singapore 2004. Thailand and its neighbors in the Southeast Asian region share some common traditional threads and face similar challenges regarding the impact of Informations Communication Technology (ICT) and new media on contemporary culture and society at large. This new media art festival will primarily, but not exclusively, focus on the Southeast Asian region. Thailand is well positioned on the political, economic, and technological front to act as a hub for inter-regional and international dialogue. Historically, the northern Chiang Mai region was the rich intersection of various regional cultures. Today, the city of Chiang Mai is the main focus of governmental, commercial and academic ICT development. This development seeks to establish Chiang Mai as not only the “Rose” but the “IT Capital of the North.” Chiang Mai's calm but evolving cultural climate makes it an ideal place for this dynamic new media art festival.
