IIMA - International Improvised Music Archive To Front Page...

| PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS A HISTORIC DOCUMENT FROM 1999. SOME LINKS MAY BE OUT OF FUNCTION. |
Below is a collection of links to other resources on the web which deal specifically with experimental music, free jazz and related stuff. If you have a site which contains relevant information, let us know. We don't carry links to artists' or labels' homepages here, mostly because the sites listed under meta-resources below already do an excellent job in that area. An exception is organisations which run labels but also provide other useful information or services online.
This page is divided up into broad types of resource:
Meta-Resources [being compilations of links, specialist search engines or
other sites-about-sites]
Publications [being sites which carry journalistic
content (like this one)]
Internet Radio [being places to hear, as well as read about, creative music of all kinds]
Shops [being a motley collection of shops which
specialise in the strange, rare and exotic]
Regional Organisations [being musicians' co-opperatives or other sites of national/local interest]
Organisations [being sites carrying info like gig
calendars, studies, essays etc]
Mailing Lists [being email-based resources for more advanced users]
If you need to translate pages on the web between English and French, German, Italian or Portuguese (in either direction), try Babel Fish at AltaVista.

NOTE: At the very least, always, ALWAYS read the "info" file which you receive when you join a list before posting to it. Inappropriate postings often elicit a very hostile response from email communities. You have been warned.
Lowercase Sound
Your mail should be blank
A busy list surrounding extreme ambient, field recording and other "noise" or "conceptual" musics. Often very intense debates.
Musings-L
Your mail should be blank
List attached to this site; mostly used for announcements, and hence very low-volume.
Zorn List
Your email should contain only the following text: subscribe zorn-list [your email address]
Busy and populous list which ranges far beyond Zorn and the New York scene. One of the best lists available, if you can handle the pace.
JAZZ-L
Your email should contain only the following text: SUBSCRIBE JAZZ-L [your name]>
A huge and incredibly busy list which ranges over everything from swing to the avant garde. Good-humoured, knowedgeable and unpretentious, but this is another list which has a very high number of postings each day.
The Wire
Your mail should be blank.
A very busy and very eclectic list; linked with but not necessarily approved by UK magazine The Wire.
Datacide
Your mail should be blank.
A low-volume list for discussion of Elliott Sharp and related artists. Popular with composers.
Musikeion
Your email should contain only the following text: subscribe musikeion [your email address]
An academic list devoted to musical semiotics. Technical, high-volume but often very fascinating discussions.
Auricle
Your email should contain only the following text: subscribe auricle [your email address]
Auricle is an occasional announcement list run from the Auricle web site. You can't post messages to this list.
