One of the most fun and awesome projects of the past two years (but most likely
*ever* actually) has been the |eoc| (EOC).
It's an endeavor, that started in 2017 at the |electronic_music_studio| of
|tu-berlin| thanks to the efforts of |hvc|, who is doing a great deal of work
in the field of electronic music, spatialization and composition.

Some key factors turn the EOC into something special (|imho|):

* it (usually) consists of electronic and electro-acoustic musicians (e.g.
  modular synthesizers, DIY hardware, tape, etc.) of different genres
* its sound is spread out over multi-channel systems (e.g. 12 loudspeakers in a
  circular setup), using spatial rendering techniques such as |ambisonics|
* it makes use of |graphic_notation|

So far it has been immense fun (but also a lot of work) to be part of the EOC
and I'm looking forward to (at least) two more concerts this year!

If you're interested, check out the |eoc-live-page| or subscribe to the
|eoc-rss-feed|. There are also many |pictures| and |binaural_recordings| up
already. Put your headphones on and enjoy!
