Quintet.net 2008 is nearing completion and can be downloaded in a version for Mac OS X. Versions for Windows XP, as well as for Max5 on both platforms will be available shortly.

MaxScore - a real-time notation object programmed by Nick Didkovsky was released on April 22, 2007. It is the result of a pleasent and successful collaboration between Nick Didkovsky and Georg Hajdu. Quintet.net 2008 is leveraging the power of MaxScore through Ádám Siska's JScoreTranslator that translates between MaxScore's xml format and Quintet.net proprietary notation format. Both objects are part of the Quintet.net release, and owe their existence to Bipolar and the relentless support by Flóra Tálasi.

The EBE has completed the production of their first DVD. Information on how to get the DVD will be posted soon.

The Hochschule für Musik und Theater Hamburg and the Hungarian Computer Music Foundation are partners in a three-year European Culture 2007 project lead by IRCAM. This project with the acronym CO-ME-DI-A (Co-operation and Mediation in the Digital Arts) is dedicated to music on the Net.

Sascha Lino Lemke's piece "Netze spinnen # Spinnennetze" was premiered on October 13, 2007 on occasion of the Ligeti composer's contest hosted by Bipolar.

The conference "Music in the Global Village" was a great success. There was even a review in the German Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ). The EBE premiered three new pieces by Anne La Berge, Kai Niggemann/Maria Popara and Georg Hajdu.

The new composition Quintessence was premiered on November 3, 2006 at the Connecting Media conference in Hamburg. The piece went very well and was favorably received.
