NewMusicBox is a Web-based advocacy magazine and portal dedicated to the music of American composers and improvisers and their champions. A multimedia publication, NewMusicBox offers: in-depth profiles, articles, and discussions; and extensive coverage of new recordings. Embracing the broadest possible range of viewpoints, NewMusicBox invigorates and gives voice to a global online community dedicated to this ever-evolving music while bringing it to the attention of the world at large. Building on the energy derived from the music itself, NewMusicBox is a vital hub for information that cannot be found elsewhere.

A vital component of NewMusicBox is Counterstream, a 24/7 online radio stream devoted to the depth and eclecticism of American music. Mixing the work of composers such as Elliott Carter, John Cage, Bill Frisell, Kid 606, Abbey Lincoln, Milton Babbitt, Philip Glass, Morton Feldman, Laurie Anderson, and hundreds more, the station streams influential music of many pedigrees. The only principle that defines the music we broadcast is that it's never about following the rules: this is music created without regard for anyone who says, "You can't do that!" Keep listening and discover the sound of music without limits.

Readers of NewMusicBox can also access the Online Library, a database of more than 57,000 works by 6,000 American composers, including 14,000 rich media files. The Online Library is currently one of the most comprehensive resources for works by living American composers.
