More than 40 projects from all over Europe were proposed for the 3rd ECPNM European Competition for Live-Electronic Music Projects. An international jury selected 5 projects; on 21 August they were premiered during the Avantgarde Tirol festival in Rattenberg-am-Inn, Austria.
The jury, consisting of Helmut W.Erdmann, Henk Heuvelmans and Helmut Bieler, awarded composer Malle Maltis (Estonia) as winner of the competition. Her composition “Chameleon chant” (for violin and live-electronics) was performed by Barbara Lüneburg and the electronic part by Tammo Sumera.
The following works were selected for this final:

The winning project (and some of the other finalists) will be programmed in the festivals of several members of the ECPNM in the Netherlands, Germany, Portugal, Italy in the coming year.
