NMA Publications
NMA Publications (New Music Articles) was founded by Rainer Linz and Richard Vella in 1982. Its focus was on the documentation of new and experimental music making in all styles of contemporary music practice. Between 1982 and 1992, NMA published ten issues along with cassettes linked to each issue and books. An important feature of NMA was the involvement of guest editors whose expertise would take NMA into new directions. A complete catalogue of all NMA issues and associated cassettes can be found at the following link at Archive.org. <https://archive.org/search?query=creator%3A%22NMA+Publications%22>
