New Adventures in Sound Art is a non-profit organization that produces performances and installations spanning the entire spectrum of electroacoustic and experimental sound art. Through workshops, lectures, and demonstrations that teach a new perception of sound, New Adventures in Sound Art also offers the opportunity to educate artists and audiences both locally and abroad.

With Sound Travels - an international series of residencies and concerts begun in 1998 - the organization has toured Europe twice, and presented concerts in Vancouver, Montréal, Calgary and Toronto. The most recent Sound Travels event took place outdoors on Toronto Island on August 17, 2002.

In April 2002, New Adventures in Sound Art launched their  first annual festival of Radio Art, Deep Wireless, which included a  series of Radio Art Interventions played on several community radio  stations, live performances of Radio Art, and the publication of the  first of a series of educational booklets - the Radio Art Companion.

With Sign Waves, a series of multi-media sound installations  begun in June 2002, and SOUNDplay, a series of concerts relating  sound to visual images and/or words opening in November 2002, New Adventures in Sound Art is expanding its season to a full year of  electroacoustic activity.
