The first International Electronic and Computer Music festival in Iceland will take place in the Kopavogur Music House October 18th - 28th 2000. The purpose of this festival is to raise people's awareness of the influence of electronic and computer technology on music; its composition and performance, to search for answers to the question of what will be technology's role in the music of the coming century and how music will subsequently develop. Last but not least, it is meant to introduce music that has been made with the help of electronic and computer technology. Electronic and computer music is music that came into being on the passing century. It is the only real innovation in musical instrument making in the 20th century, and the kind of music that will develop the most in the new century; as an independent music form, and as a part of multimedia art. Coinciding with the festival there will be a conference on Electro-Acoustic music, where lectures and exhibitions will deal with the development through an historical perspective and try to answer the question on how the development might be in the coming 100 - 1000 years. The festival will take place from October 18th - 28th 2000, and will include eleven concerts where the history (past), present and future of Electronic- and Computer music is the main theme.

Lectures combined with the concerts will assemble the bigger picture. The lecturers will include some of the world's best known composers and academics in the field, including:
