About EI
Experimental
Intermedia Foundation NYC is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization
directed since 1985 by Phill Niblock. It was founded in 1968 by
Elaine Summers to provide organizational support for artists
working in intermedia forms. It has been presenting experimental
music concerts and other intermedia work at its SOHO location
since 1973, featuring both American and international composers
and artists. Experimental Intermedia remains one of the principal
venues for the presentation of untried work in New York City. The
Foundation also manages its own recording label, XI Records, that
continues to garner extremely positive press and radio coverage,
both nationally and internationally. To date, the label has
released 32 recordings. Of these 32 releases, 25 are by American
composers. EI produces 20 to 30 events each season and develops
and implements international projects in collaboration with
like-minded organizations both local and international for the
creation & presentation of innovative, technically
sophisticated
music & intermedia artwork.
