richard garet is currently involved in long-distance collaborations with boston’s composer brendan murray. garet is also an active participant of the multimedia collaborative group (ea).

(ea) - is a photo-electro-acoustic project instigated by gill arno (b, italy), richard garet (b, uruguay), andre golcalves (b, portugal), andy graydon (b, usa), ben owen (b, usa), and gil sanson (b, venezuela). while the interests and approaches of each participant vary widely, everyone generally works within the idiom of computer-processed natural and instrumental sounds, and with the interrelation of the visual environment with the aural environment through slide, film, and video projections. the group’s involvement is open and evolving, always incorporating new forms and dividing into smaller focused specialties. one facet of the group’s dynamic is to define smaller performance ensembles -- duos, trios, etc -- from within the larger group for specific pieces. in keeping with this evolving paradigm, the acronym (ea) does not refer to any fixed phrase. ea works with improvisations as well as with rule-based compositions written by individual participants. performances alternate between large group improvisations and practiced compositions drawn from the group’s repertoire, often played by smaller units of the group.
