The New York City Electroacoustic Music Festival (NYCEMF) is the largest showcase of electroacoustic music in New York City, and one of the largest festivals of its kind in the world. The festival began in 2009 with the intention of bringing the most innovative and creative new electroacoustic music from around the world to New York City. Works are presented in high-quality multi-channel surround sound environments that include up to eight different simultaneous sound channels, and sometimes many more. The festival includes music performed by acoustic musical instruments, laptops, and custom electronic devices, as well as works involving digital video, and sound installations.
In 2027, the festival will be held from Tuesday, June 15 through Monday, June 21 at the Sheen Center for Thought and Culture in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of New York City.
The works presented each year are chosen by a panel of internationally respected composers and musicians.
The festival also features performances from a wide variety of internationally-known specialists in contemporary experimental music.
