East collection

The East collection started in 1995, in Amsterdam during the International Gaudeamus Music Week, where Alain Van Kerckhoven met Dmitri Capyrin, Alexander Gugel and Alexander Shchetinsky. The idea of a collection just happend, around four tea mugs in a room of a small hotel, where the composers invited the publisher.

This was an exciting moment. Everyboby felt that the USSR era was to disappear but nobody knew how nor when. The thirst for freedom was more strong than ever. The word "Internet" was only known by some geeks in some American universities.

The aim of this collection is to collect New Consonant Music works from composers having known the years where artistic expression has to deal with a political regime of iron, invested in its own cultural productions.
