[ANPPOM-L] Call for works: Electroacoustic Audio-visual Music

[Carlos Palombini]

Esta chamada apareceu, apropriadamente, na lista de etnomusicologia.
Parece que a DMU resolveu o problema da audiência da música
eletracústica, através da implementação de projetos de pós-graduação
nos quais o estudante encomenda peças de música eletroacústica que
alimentarão sua pesquisa.

> CALL FOR WORKS
>
> *Electroacoustic Audio-visual Music*
>
> Submission Deadline: 20th February 2009 (postmark)
>
> This is a call for fixed media electroacoustic audio-visual music works
> exploring the interaction between sound and image. Works should be
> cohesive audio-visual entities and not just video/film with a soundtrack
> or music with a video/film track. The audio within these works should be
> electroacoustic in nature.
>
> Works are requested for a PhD research project investigating audience
> reception of differing styles of audio-visual composition and the role of
> composer intention in facilitating audience reception of electroacoustic
> audio-visual music works. This research builds upon the foundations laid
> by Leigh Landy and Rob Weale through the Intention/Reception Project
> (Weale 2006) (Landy 2006).
>
> Works will be presented to a series of audience groups who will then
> complete questionnaires and discuss their reception of each of the
> presented works. Results from these tests will then be analysed in order
> to discover any trends that exist between the different audience groups.
>
> It is hoped that this analysis will form a useful resource for composers
> of electroacoustic audio-visual music works providing key information on
> how audiences perceive and receive their works. The research will also
> provide fruitful information concerning the accessibility of these types
> of works.
>
> *KEY REQUIREMENTS*
>
> - In this phase of the project, submissions must be fixed media works (as
> opposed to 'live' performance based works).
> - Works must have stereo audio and be for single screen.
> - The duration of submitted works should be no longer than 8 minutes due
> to testing practicalities or, alternatively, a well-defined self-contained
> section of the work lasting no longer than 8 minutes can be identified
> within the entire work.
> - Composers must be willing to complete a 'Composer Intention
> Questionnaire' outlining dramaturgic information relating to each
> submitted work.
> - The composer should own all rights to the submitted works and provide
> the researcher with the right to include selected works as part of future
> scholarly publications of the research.
>
> - Multiple works may be submitted.
>
> NB: Works of high reputation may be rejected for testing due to issues of
> familiarity.
>
> *SUBMISSION GUIDELINES*
>
> *All submissions must consist of the following:
>
> 1. DVD containing the work to be considered (PAL or NTSC format) and or
> QTM file. Works should have stereo audio and be for single screen.
> 2. Programme notes (please include duration, year of creation and a list
> of previous performances) .
> 3. Composer biography.
> 4. Contact information: email, postal address and telephone.
>
> All requested information must be provided in order for the work to be
> considered.
>
> *DEADLINE*
>
> Only submissions received by (or postmarked) Friday 20th February 2009
> will be considered.
>
> Composers of selected compositions will be notified by 31st of March at
> the latest.
>
> A 'Composer Intention questionnaire' will be dispatched to the appropriate
> contact address for completion by the composers of selected works. Failure
> to complete a copy of the questionnaire for a selected work will prevent
> the work from being used in the study.
>
> Please send hard-copy materials to:
>
> Andrew Hill
> C/o Simon Smith
> Music, Technology and Innovation Research Centre
