I'm considering checking out EIS after being interested in it for the last couple of years.
The website seems a bit dated, and there isn't a huge amount of info on there so I thought I would check here to see if there is a teacher around with any availability. Or should I mail Lilian via the link on the website?
Regarding the books, I know people have said they want to keep the course materials on physical print-on-paper media, but it's a bit off-putting to me since I've spent the last year or so trying to purge as much space-eating stuff as possible out of my house. And the books would no doubt be fairly hefty.
Digital copies of the EIS manuals would be far easier to reference, access and update.
Yes - they would also be easier to pirate and for people to access them without the tutorship of an EIS teacher, but I think the crossover in the venn diagram of 'malicious pirates' and 'composers wanting to learn an esoteric new composition method' would be so small that I think it's worth the risk. Almost all of the people who are genuinely interested in learning about EIS would want to do so the proper way - books and teacher - so I think there should be less worry about people just getting the books and misunderstanding something, and more focus on digitising the content to preserve and future-proof the course.
Thoughts?
