Electronic music seems to be a problem for music publishers.
Such problems afflict not only Donemus, but also concert planners like Gaudeamus and the many musicians who want to incorporate electronic works into their repertoire. It is clear that electro-acoustic music, as a fully fledged part of contemporary music, requires quite a different approach from notated instrumental music. Soon after the first electronic studios had appeared in Paris, Cologne and New York, Werner Meyer-Eppler and Herbert Eimert were already giving lectures in Bilthoven, The Hague and Hilversum. After Henk Badings' somewhat traditionally conceived work, the first really interesting impulses came from the Nat-lab technicians, notably from Dick Raaijmakers and Tom Dissevelt. The Netherlands had taken its place in the international world of musical innovation.
