'''Elektronika''' is a research project that aims to develop a historiography of electronic music in Malta. This project was developed from ongoing collaboration between the M3P Foundation and [[Electronic Music Malta]].

	The project was announced on Wednesday 21 October 2020 during [[Circuits]] at [[Spazju Kreattiv]]. The [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xskalmTkOgU launch event] featured a presentation by [[Michael Bugeja]] with a running commentary by [[Toni Sant]], moderated by [[Edwin Balzan]].

The [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xskalmTkOgU launch event] featured a presentation by [[Michael Bugeja]] with a running commentary by [[Toni Sant]], moderated by [[Edwin Balzan]].

	Below is a schedule of events linked to the data gathering and processing phases of the project, based primarily on archival research, third party collections, interviews and oral history sessions with key people linked to the electronic music scene in Malta. A good amount of related memorabilia, consisting mostly of flyers and some analogue recordings, has also been gathered. These are currently being evaluated in preparation for digitization and eventual cataloguing within this repository; both these processes fall within the second phase of the project. With reference to the first phase results, there is still a long way to go in terms of obtaining more material and information, particularly that linked to the late 1970s/early 1980s. This is due to the fact that much of this material is to be found in private and/or personal collections, possibly owned by people who are not yet aware of this project's aspirations nor its communal collaborative approach. we have also taken into consideration the significant amount of interest shown by attendees at the oral history sessions, but a more effective mechanism is still being discussed in order to maintain that enthusiasm and convert it into a higher level of actual engagement and participation.
