Call for a multimedia project with the European Bridges Ensemble

By JyKang in Call for Work 0 Comment
The European Bridges Ensemble in collaboration with the Hochschule für
Musik und Theater Hamburg and the Hungarian Computer Music Foundation
is inviting project proposals for its 2009 summer residency and the
2009/2010 concert season.

The European Bridges Ensemble (EBE) is looking for an artist(*) or a
team of artists interested in working together to create a network
piece. Its duration should be between 6 to 12 minutes.

The artist(s) chosen will work with the ensemble during the summer
residency in Hamburg, Germany between July 11 and 25, 2009. The result
will be presented at the 2009 Hamburg Klangwerktage festival in late
November as well as at the Music in the Global Village conference in
Budapest in early December of 2009.

The ensemble:
The ensemble consists of 5 electronic musicians (Kai Niggemann,
Germany; Adam Siska, Hungary; Johannes Kretz, Austria; Andrea
Szigetvári, Hungary; Ivana Ognjanovic, Serbia) performing on standard
and/or alternate controllers, a video artists (Stewart Collinson, UK)
and a conductor (Georg Hajdu, Germany).

Prize:
The ensemble will pay for travel, accommodation as well as a stipend
of 1000 Euros (for individual) or 2000 Euros (for a team of two and
more) for the Hamburg residency.

Application:
The applicants are supposed to send a portfolio either by mail or
email containing
– samples of previous works demonstrating expertise both in live music
and video processing (knowledge of network/Internet music is an asset
but not an absolute requirement.)
– a detailed description of the proposed project including a statement
on the use of alternate controllers, video and audio.
– a CV

Requirements:
Workshops during the residency will provide expertise in how to use
the Quintet.net—the environment the European Bridges Ensemble uses in
their performances. Advanced knowledge of Cycling ’74’s Max
programming environment is a necessity. We particularly encourage the
use of Percussa’s AudioCubes of which the ensemble owns six.

Deadline: March 10, 2009

Notification: The applicants will be notified about their status no
later than May 1, 2009.

Jury:
The jury consists of Andrew Gerzso (IRCAM, Paris), Pedro Rebelo (SARC,
Belfast) and members of the European Bridges Ensemble

This project was made possible by a Culture 2007 multi-annual
cooperation grant by the European Commission. The name of the project
is CO-ME-DI-A (Collaboration and Mediation in the Digital Arts).
Project partners are IRCAM (Paris), SARC (Belfast), Casa Paganini
(Genoa), CIANT (Prague), MUG/IEM (Graz), HfMT (Hamburg), HCMF (Budapest)

The San Francisco Tape Music Festival 2009

CELLspace 2050 bryant st san francisco
http://sfsound.org/tape/

$12 [$7 underemployed] each night
$24 for festival pass
Advanced tickets — http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/52645 <http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/52645>

The 2009 San Francisco Tape Music Festival, curated by sfSound’s SF Tape Music Collective, will take place this January 30th, 31st, and February 1st at CELLspace. The three night Festival of audio art will feature classic as well as recent and new fixed media compositions by 30 local and international composers. The expansive venue is uniquely suited to shaping the sound which will be diffused live over a pristine surround system consisting of 20+ speakers. Seated in the dark, it’s a unique opportunity to experience music forming, literally, around you. This year marks both 50- and 60-year anniversaries, being 50 years since many now-classic “tape music” pieces had their world premieres, and being 60 years since Pierre Schaeffer presented “Concert de Bruits,” the first concert of musique concrète. So over the three nights of the Festival, works from these periods by Luciano Berio, György Ligeti, Pierre Schaeffer, Edgard Varèse, Iannis Xenakis, as well as more recent pieces by Paul Lansky, Paul McCartney, and others will be presented. And in honor of Olivier Messiaen’s 100th birth year his sole tape piece “Timbres-Durées” (1952) will be presented. As in past annual SF Tape Music Festivals, this year will also feature new works by several local composers, including Ashley Bellouin, Kyle Bruckmann, George Cremaschi, Janis Mercer, Maggi Payne, Moe! Staiano, Jon Leidecker/Wobbly, Aaron Ximm, and premieres by SFTMC’s own Thom Blum, Cliff Caruthers, Matt Ingalls, and Kent Jolly. The annual SF Tape Music Festival — it’s cinema for your ears!
