Composers of different historic eras traditionally used acoustic instruments to reflect the sounds of the surrounding world. Modern composers approach sounds and tonality rather as separate entities. The "terminus technicus" accepted in the first part of the twentieth century, that only symmetric vibrations can be considered musical notes, was set aside and irregular vibrations, noises have invaded the compositions. Today, thanks to the more and more effective computers, the long-time dream of composers to completely control sounds and create tones and "new instruments" by themselves, seems to be achievable.

As a result of sound-synthesis, developed through the experiments of classical musicians and engineers, the synthesizer was born. It gained incredible popularity within a very short time, and still plays a major role in the classical and the pop music of our days. Due to its booming popularity, entire business-lines were built on the instrument and we could witness the birth of new instruments on a daily basis. The new potential generated new sounds and styles, which in turn have a great effect on the modern classical composers. With the Internet, musicians have gained a new communication platform and now artists, living far away from each other, are able to perform together.

The main purpose of Music Forum Expo is to introduce a very interesting and exciting musical field: electro-acoustic and computer music by presenting concerts, scientific presentations and informative exhibitions.
