The Ars Electronica Forum Wallis 2025 Selection Concerts are concert programs with acousmatic (electroacoustic) music on the 16-channel acousmonium of the MEbU (Münster Earport) in Münster/Goms. The program consists of the pieces of the competition winners of the 10th Call for Acousmatic Works of the Festival for New Music Forum Wallis (http://forumwallis.ch): A total of 279 works by 249 composers from 39 countries and all continents were submitted in 2025. A total of 26 works were shortlisted, with a further 14 receiving a Special Mention. The works will be performed live by Simone Conforti (IRCAM Paris).

The special and unique listening experience at the MEbU is made possible by an unusual instrument: the Akusmonium - a loudspeaker orchestra, as developed by the GRM research team at the Maison de Radio France in the 1970s. At the MEbU, it is equipped with 16 individually controlled studio loudspeakers. The MEbU acousmonium is one of the few permanent and publicly accessible acousmoniums in Europe. MEbU (Münster Earport) is an art space for contemporary music by the ensemble for new music UMS'nJIP (Ulrike Mayer-Spohn and Javier Hagen), which settled in Münster/Goms in 2022.
