Society for Electro-Acoustic Music in the United States
The Society for Electro-Acoustic Music in the United States (SEAMUS) is a nonprofit US-based organization founded in 1984 that aims to promote the performance and creation of electro-acoustic music in the United States.[1] In particular, the organization aims:
- To encourage the composition, performance of, and research about electro-acoustic music in the United States
- To foster a network for technical and artistic information exchange
- To attract a wide diversity of members (i.e., practitioners of a diversity of experimental practices and practitioners manifesting a diversity of racial and gender identities and ages) from both in and outside of academic institutions
- To seek to remove structural and economic barriers to the creation, performance, documentation, and dissemination of electro-acoustic music
- To share SEAMUS activities with members, and with the larger artistic and academic communities
SEAMUS (/ˈʃeɪmʌs/ SHAY-muss) comprises composers, performers, and teachers of electroacoustic music representing every part of the United States and is known for its annual conference, which provides a venue for the presentation and performance of electro-acoustic music from around the world. The organization was formed in 1984 as a U.S. chapter of the International Confederation of Electroacoustic Music (ICEM) which had been formed 2 years prior in Bourges, France. The U.S. representative to ICEM, Jon Appleton,[2] suggested to composer Barry Schrader the formation of such a chapter in 1983[3] and the inaugural meeting was held at the California Institute of the Arts in November 1984. Significant supporters have included CalArts, ASCAP, and The Alexander Family Foundation.[4]

In 1987, the society began giving the SEAMUS Award to acknowledge people who have made significant contributions to electro-acoustic music. The award is presented at the SEAMUS National Conference, held annually. SEAMUS has also, in cooperation with The University of Texas, established a national archive for electro-acoustic literature and compositions. The society also established EAMM (SEAMUS Electro-Acoustic Music Month) which is a worldwide celebration of electronic, computer and electroacoustic music which occurs in November of every year.
