We Are Changing...

From October 2008, we are merging with the British Music Information Centre, Contemporary Music Network and Sonic Arts Network to create a landmark new organisation, Sound and Music.

What is Sound and Music?

Sound and Music will be a forceful and passionate advocate for new and innovative work and the UK's first national development agency of international standing for sound and music. Working in partnership with practitioners and organisations throughout the UK, Sound and Music will enable more people than ever before to create, discover and experience new music and sound across genres.

What will Sound and Music do?

Live Events: We will showcase the most exciting British and international new music and sound though a fantastically diverse programme of live events across the UK.

Information and Resources: You'll be able to discover new music and sound though the sector's most comprehensive UK events listing service, through our collection of contemporary scores and recordings, and through publications, downloads and an interactive online network.

Virtual Venue and Online Community: soundandmusic.org will be an exciting creative space, the entrance point to new music and sound in the UK, and a major new community hub connecting people, sound and knowledge.

Learning and Participation: Our programme will create opportunities for people to discover, learn and create, ranging from first creative encounters with sound to the support and development of professional artists.
