Announcing Digital Publication

We offer institutions and individuals three options for subscriptions: print only (as is); digital only; and print plus digital. Digital subscriptions are delivered by JSTOR under their Current Scholarship Program. Subscriptions in all three options are available via our subscriptions page. All individual subscribers and print-only institutional subscribers may order there. Institutions should contact JSTOR (fulfillment@jstor.org) for digital and print-plus-digital subscriptions. Print subscribers will continue to receive any CDs; the audio will be available online for digital subscribers. Digital subscribers will have full access not only to the current issues, but also to our entire print run from 1962 to the present.

The PNM/OS CD Series

To be a forum for valuable musical thinking that might otherwise remain unavailable describes the ethos of Perspectives over its history. To this end, we are producing a series of CDs for our subscribers and other interested music-lovers, in a collaboration between Perspectives of New Music and Open Space. These CDs will go to PNM subscribers occasionially as part of their subscription.

ERSPECTIVES OF NEW MUSIC is directed to a readership consisting of composers, performers, scholars, and all others interested in any kind of contemporary music. Published material includes theoretical research, analyses, technical reports, position papers by composers, sociological and philosophical articles, interviews, reviews, and, for special purposes, short musical scores or other creative productions.
