I’m happy and grateful that my new article is now available in this important book.
“Wie Wir Wollen”
Über das Festival e_may als Beispiel für Empowerment und Aktivismus in der neuen Musik. Ein Erfahrungsbericht.
In the book Empowerment (Andrea Ellmeier, Doris Ingrisch, Claudia Walkensteiner-Preschl, editors) as part of the #mdw series ‘Wissen und Geschlecht in Musik, Theater, Film’ Böhlau, Wien 2025.
The article reports on the history of the feminist festival e_may for new and electronic music in Vienna. The festival, established in 2007 by Gina Mattiello and myself, existed until 2012. With over fifty commissions to female* composers it changed Austria’s landscape of contemporary music. The essay documents our engagement and evaluates the systemic impact of the festival on the contemporary music scene in Austria.
