Coming into contact with Paolo Messa's musical production inevitably implies being put in touch not so much with the composer as with the man. For him, writing is the intuition of an instant, the still image of a memory, the emotion of listening, the suggestion of a text. In a continuous cross-reference to extra-musical elements, Messa matures in sound his own daily experience as a man among men. Not that a scrupulous introspective technical research or a solo production are less appreciable, but that's how he is he doesn't compose for himself, nor for some academic recognition, but he has a clear mission to be for others. This discographic production does not only collect an anthology of his work; if on one hand it marks the dawn of his compositional path, on the other hand it preserves the experience of an entire day made of such precious encounters that they become metaphysical matter during the night. This is the reason for EOS - Anthologia condivisa. In his debut album, Paolo Messa wanted to have with him his lifelong friends, his most esteemed colleagues, the students to whom he patiently dedicates his work as a teacher.

SEAMUS (Society for Electro-Acoustic Music in the United States) releases the next in it's series of back catalogue and new compilations by it's composer members. Volume 24 includes music by Scott L. Miller, Ted Coffey, Nina C. Young, Joo Won Park, Chin Ting Chan, John Nichols III, and Per Bloland. All works for the Music from SEAMUS series are based upon voting done by conference participants at the SEAMUS national conferences. The compositions appearing on this volume are the result of voting at the 2014 SEAMUS national conference hosted by Wesleyan University, Middletown, Connecticut. As part of a recently adopted policy, an individual composer cannot appear on the Music from SEAMUS series more frequently than once every three years. SEAMUS is a non-profit national organization of composers, performers, and teachers of electro-acoustic music. Electroacoustic music is a term used to describe those musics that are dependent on electronic technology for their creation and/or performance. SEAMUS strives to address not only relevant technology but also the non-technical issues of aesthetics, collaboration, education, and ethical/social issues pertinent to the electro-acoustic music community.
