Welcome!
New Music Scotland is a network of artists, ensembles, orchestras, composers, creators, music educators, sound artists, musicians, producers, promoters and anyone who believes in the importance and value of creating new music in Scotland. We are an organisation that exists to connect, enable and support makers of innovative and experimental new music and our members help drive how we do that.
Our website contains a directory of artist and organisation profiles, with catalogues of works, sample score pages, recordings, details of education and community projects, and much more! If you are a member then you are able to upload details of existing and new works, performances, events, projects of all sorts, funding and development opportunities, performers specialising in new music, and project management, production and technical specialists with a new music focus...and so on. You can also include links to audio and video clips, sample pages, your own websites, and places to buy music and recordings.
The more content that is uploaded - past, present and future - the more comprehensive and useful the directory and catalogue will be.
Only New Music Scotland members can upload their details and have full profiles available to view, so if you are not already a subscriber then you can join here.
Here is composer and curator Matthew Whiteside's guide to creating, and making the most of, your profile.
