<B>N Collective<BR>
</B>The N Collective is a pan-European group of instrumentalists and composers who work together in many constellations in support of group and individual projects. The core unit of about 9 composers and instrumentalists can expand into approximately 20 people. Musical activities range from purely composed acousmatic electronics to acoustic ensemble pieces, electro-acoustic improvisation and many sub-variants. For the past couple of years N Collective groups have been touring regularly throughout Europe and performing in festivals such as Transmediale, Borealis, Rumor, YULE and have released a dozen CD(R) releases on labels like: Lampse, Rune Grammophon, Staalplaat, JDK Productions, ERS Records, NoTV (Universal) and X-OR. Recently, the collective has produced a number N Events in Amsterdam, Norway (Bergen, Stavanger), Geneva and Berlin. These events showcase a variety of N constellations including the core ensembles like OfficeR and PHO, acousmatic pieces by Jeff Carey and Robert van Heumen, and smaller groups like USA/USB, MoHa! and SKIF++. <BR>
