Started in 2009, The project has already commissioned five composers, and the program has been presented throughout the United States and England. In addition to further engagments domestically, next season the project will travel to Canada, Mexico, and Germany. In collaboration with the University of Toronto, EAP is hosting an international composition competition for new works for piano and live electronics. The winning compositions will be presented at the 2011 New Music Festival at the University of Toronto. Kirchoff's first EAP album is due for international release early in 2011. It will feature works by Christopher Trebue Moore, Christopher Jette, Dan VanHassel, Allen Strange, and Annie Gosfield. A companion album is due the following year and will include the winners of the 2011 EAP Composition Competition. In 2010, Kirchoff began work upon a related project: Electro-Acoustic Toys (EAT). This project aims to promote music for toy piano and electronics. So far, six composers have been commissioned. Both projects have an ongoing call for scores.
