About:

CCMD (Contemporary Classical Music Database)

Leading Innovative & Colorful Intuitive Embracing European Contemporary Art Music Scene
_________________________________________________________________________

"Nearly three years ago, I have started to share materials on Tumblr entitled as "on my way." through my fractious and coincidental interest on modern and contemporary classical music including composers, acoustic and electroacoustic works, ensembles, scores, recordings, related videos, festivals and interdisciplinary art events to which I give attention.

My main goal is to increase the accessibility of the contemporary classical music contents for students, music theorists, musicologists and the explorers who are curious about the subject.

According to the huge egos behind the topic, most people related to the discipline really don't like to help and share their knowledge and materials with you, as I realized during my undergraduate studies.

Although the ethics behind sharing "somebody's work" on the internet without "permission" is highly debatable, my point is doing so, especially the people who live in a non-European country and are unable to have the chance to be live audiences and access to the works easily. I hope that the composers and musicians behind the works would understand my excuse.

If you click on the "Archive" link on the right top side, you can easily reach to the whole frame.

The database is sweetened/combined with some photography, street art, ambient, noise, IDM and free jazz without the "serious" contemporary art contents.

And, finally I should explain that some of the videos embed from "Youtube" or "Vimeo" might be deleted from the accounts because of "Copyright Infringment" or individually."
