New Music in New Places: Visual Music Event Creates Electro Zen Garden
The Electronic Zen Garden is a contemporary music performance combined with a multi-media visual spectacle, all of which is based on the traditional Japanese Zen garden concept. Using interactive software, four performers will project images on a 12-foot-high lumina column while music from sixteen speakers surrounds the audience. Just as in real Zen gardens, audience members will only be able to see parts of the image and hear parts of the soundscape at any one time, giving every individual a unique image and sound experience.

Schafer's Patria Cycle gets a wild new home
A permanent home has been established in the Haliburton Forest and Wildlife Reserve for the outdoor works of R. Murray Schafer's Patria Cycle, the most ambitious body of music theatre ever devised by a Canadian.
In making the announcement yesterday, accordionist Joseph Macerollo, president of Patria Music Theatre Projects, said he hoped the site would become Schafer's Bayreuth, alluding to the home of Richard Wagner's annual opera festival in Germany.
The site includes a lake and forest within the 60,000 acres of what is known as Canada's first certified sustainable forest. Peter Schleifenbaum, owner and operator of the forest reserve and a long-time Schafer supporter, wants the initial five-year agreement to be extended.
