of the
Conservatory of Santa Cecilia
2008

The Conservatory of Rome presents the 1st Edition of the “International Electroacoustic Music Festival of the Conservatory of Santa Cecilia”.

The Festival will take place from the 15th to the 20th of October, 2008.

The Course of Electronic Music at the Santa Cecilia Conservatory of Rome was one of the first in Italy.  The first teacher was Franco Evangelisti, one of the foremost representatives of the Italian and European  experimental avant-garde.  Thanks to him, its first professor, the School of Electronic Music of Rome has been known since then for the quality and depth of the specialization in composition.

The Conservatory of Rome with this first edition of the “International Electroacoustic Music Festival of the Conservatory of Santa Cecilia”. wishes to create a milestone appointment in Italy, one which will facilitate the understanding of the global production in the field of electroacoustic music. An appointment in October 2008 in the historic center of Rome: to listen to today’s music; reflect on this music, its techniques, instruments and expressive mediums.

During the six days of the Festival, conferences, concerts and special events will be held in varying locations.  The special events will be the performance of various historically important electroacoustic pieces.  The concerts will be  given by students and teachers from the Conservatory.  Students will have the chance to establish direct and live contact with contemporary electroacoustic music by being able to speak directly to the composers, confronting problematic technical and expressive aspects of the various programmed works.

Scheduled organizational program:

•    15 March – 15 June, 2008.  Internet announcement of call for works
•    1 July 2008.  Selection of compositions, formation of performance groups.
•    15 July 2008. Drafting and internet publication of detailed Festival program and timetable, including times and places of all the events.

This is Not a Test: The Chicago Sound Experience

Calling all audio and recording artists to retell and reproduce the Chicago experience through place, time and culture in audio recordings. Abstract sound, field recordings, text based/spoken word, and radio pieces alike will be considered.

These works will be presented at the Jay Pritzker Pavilion

About The Jay Pritzker Pavilion:
Frank Gehry, winner of the National Medal of Art, applied his signature style to this revolutionary outdoor concert venue. The Pavilion stands 120-feet high, with a billowing headdress of brushed stainless steel ribbons that frame the stage opening and connect to an overhead trellis of crisscrossing steel pipes. The trellis supports the sound system, which spans the 4,000 fixed seats and the Great Lawn, which accommodates an additional 7,000 people.

This state-of-the-art sound system, the first of its kind in the country, was designed to mimic the acoustics of an indoor concert hall by distributing enhanced sound equally over both the fixed seats and the lawn.
