Editing Jon Appleton (section)

===1980s===
It was during this period that Appleton began to compose his best computer music and live-electronic music. Many of his works for this genre were first premiered at the annual festival held by the [http://www.imeb.net Groupe de Musique Experimentale de Bourges] ([[France]]) and at [[Fylkingen]] in [[Stockholm, Sweden]].

During his time in [[Bourges]], Appleton became a founding member of the [[International Confederation for Electro-Acoustic Music]] ([http://www.cime-icem.net/]). His stimulating interaction with composers from many nations led him to believe that a similar organization in the United States might help raise the profile of electro-acoustic music in his own country. In 1984, together with a small group of like-minded composers, Appleton helped establish the [[Society for Electro-Acoustic Music in the United States]] (SEAMUS). He ultimately served for a time as president of the society.

In the summer of 1984 Appleton helped [[Moses Asch]], founder of [[Folkways Records]], release its first recordings of [[electro-acoustic music]]. According to Asch's wishes, these recordings have remained in print under the Smithsonian/Folkways auspices.
