NewMusicMannes, Madeleine Shapiro, director<br />
<br />
A call for scores for a concert taking place at Mannes College of Music, The New School, NYC in May 2018.<br />
<br />
I am interested in unconducted chamber works with live computer processing for 3-5 performers.<br />
<br />
I would prefer works for mixed ensemble, but string quartets are OK.<br />
<br />
Deadline: December 20, 2017 (give or take a few days)<br />
<br />
A score and some sort of recording, links or attachments, can be sent to me at <a href="mailto:shapirm@newschool.edu">shapirm@newschool.edu</a>.<br />

</li>
<li>Please contact us if you need help tracking down resources for your project.</li>
<li><strong>What we look for from EOIs</strong>:
<ul>
<li>Experience of practitioner;</li>
<li>Aesthetic and ideological suitability (see below);</li>
<li>Logistics: can we support the project?</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Aesthetic considerations:</strong> Tilde promotes
contemporary (new – art music), exploratory and experimental music. Our
program usually consists of contemporary composers (Australian and
international - focusing on Australasia, nothing written before 1969*),
electroacoustic performance, improvisation in a free or post-classical
style (i.e. not jazz), and inter-disciplinary collaboration (previously
we have had dancers, painters, animators, and performance artists). We
also have an installation featuring sound art/electronic and computer
music.</li>
<li><strong>International and Interstate Applicants</strong>: while we welcome EOIs from international applicants, please be aware that we have <em>no funding to support travel</em>.
We will write letters of support for applicants to apply for funding to
travel from other states in Australia, and internationally, and will
help to find cheap or couch-surfing-style accommodation from our network
here in Melbourne.</li>
</ul>
*Unless programming older but little-heard works</div>

The Interdisciplinary Centre for Composition and Technology (ICCaT)
and the music department at the University of Liverpool present a
concert of digitally-mediated works and improvisations as part of the
annual Open Circuit Festival.<br />
For this concert, we invite submissions for dynamic audiovisual
scores that guide the production of sound & music on acoustic
instruments. The score should include one or more of the following
qualities:<br />
<ul>
<li>consists of digital visual media</li>
<li>allows for some degree of performer agency</li>
<li>is made visible to the audience</li>
<li>includes the audience</li>
<li>employs game-like elements and/or goals</li>
</ul>
Additionally, the work should be reasonably playable by performers of
various skill levels; works will be performed in an evening concert as
well as in a workshop for secondary school musicians.<br />
Instrumentation is open and ideally indeterminate. Some specific
instrumentation is available, including clarinet, saxophone, cello, and
guitar. If the work is written specifically for another instrument, the
composer is responsible for arranging the performances of the work.<br />
Selected works will be performed and the audience will have a chance
to vote for their favourite piece. The piece with the most votes will
receive a prize of £150.<br />
Works may be submitted via <a href="http://www.iccat.uk/2018call.php">this link</a> or in one or a combination of the following formats:<br />
<ul>
<li>Video of screen capture and/or performance (YouTube or Vimeo preferred)</li>
<li>Standalone software for MacOS or Windows</li>
<li>PDF documents (score, instructions)</li>

Animated scores are primarily visual-based scoring systems that shift/mutate/change/adapt/<wbr></wbr>generate/co-operate
through time. The scoring language might include instructions, symbols,
graphics, images that are pre-recorded or are <span style="font-size: small;">generated in real-time.

<span style="font-size: small;">Background</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div>
<span style="font-size: small;"> The Living Score project investigates how digital technology is
transforming the music score: from animated and graphical scores, to
mixed-media, and networks of distributed code; from artificial
intelligence (AI), thinking machines and hacked-bodies,
there is a broad wealth of innovation offered to musicians through
these systems. </span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span> The Living Score is a pilot
investigation into the theoretical and philosophical implications in the
co-operative relationship between musician and digital score. Further,
it seeks to understand the shifting nature of creativity
these systems offer musicians: performers and composers. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div>
<span style="font-size: small;"> This project is funded by Leverhulme/ British Academy small
grant. We can not guaran</span>tee that we can support all submissions. There
are no funds to cover any associated costs beyond the technical support
and resources at DMU and the involvement of Ligeti
Quartet.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt; font-weight: 700;">2017 BEAMS Marathon Festival</span><br />
<br />
<div class="m_3776147306779639810column">
<span style="font-family: ArialMT; font-size: 11pt;">March 15th - 17th, 2018 - Brandeis University</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: ArialMT;">The Brandeis University Music
Department, in conjunction with New Music Brandeis, are pleased to
announce the 2017 BEAMS (Brandeis Electro Acoustic Music Studio)
Marathon Weekend Festival. This festival
will bring together composers, performers, and artists working
with electronics and/or video from all corners of New England <span class="il">for</span> a weekend full of concerts, workshops, demonstrations, and panels.</span><span style="font-family: ArialMT;">We are very pleased to announce
our guest composers and ensembles, who will be presenting and performing at this year’s festival:</span></div>
<span style="font-family: ArialMT;"><br />
<b>Pamela Z</b> - Pamela Z is a composer/performer and media artist who
works primarily with voice, live electronic processing, sampled
sound, and video. A pioneer of live digital looping techniques, she
processes her voice in real time to create dense,
complex sonic layers. Her solo works combine experimental extended
vocal techniques, operatic bel canto, found objects, text, and
sampled concrète sounds. She uses MAX MSP and Isadora software on a
MacBook Pro along with custom MIDI controllers that allow her
to manipulate sound and image with physical gestures. Her performances
range in scale from small concerts in galleries to large-scale
multi-media works in theaters and concert halls. In addition to her
performance work, she has a growing body of inter-media
gallery works including multi-channel sound and video installations.</span></div>
<div class="m_3776147306779639810column">
<br />
</div>
<span style="font-family: ArialMT;"><b>Elainie Lillios</b> -
Acclaimed as one of the “contemporary masters of the medium” by MIT
Press’s Computer Music Journal, electroacoustic composer Elainie Lillios
creates works that reflect her fascination
with listening, sound, space, time, immersion and anecdote.
Her compositions include stereo, multi channel, and Ambisonic fixed
media works, instrument(s) with live interactive electronics,
collaborative experimental audio/visual animations, and installations.<br />
<br />
<b>Christopher Biggs</b> - Christopher is a composer and multimedia
artist residing in Kalamazoo, MI, where he is Assistant Professor of
Music Composition and Technology at Western Michigan University. Biggs’
recent projects focus on integrating live
instrumental performance with interactive audiovisual media. In
addition to collaborating with artists in other disciplines on projects,
he treats all of his works as collaborations between himself and the
initial performing artist by working with the performers
during the creative process and considering their specific skills and
preferences.<br />
<br />
<b>Yarn/Wire</b> - Yarn/Wire is a quartet of two percussionists and two
pianists. This instrumental combination allows the ensemble flexibility
to slip effortlessly between classics of the repertoire and modern works
that continue to forge new boundaries.
Founded in 2005 while at Stony Brook University, Yarn/Wire is admired <span class="il">for</span>
the energy and precision they bring to performances of today's most
adventurous music. The results of their collaborative initiatives with
genre-bending artists such as Two-Headed Calf,
Pete Swanson, and Tristan Perich point towards the emergence of a new
and lasting repertoire that is "spare and strange and very, very new."
(Time Out NY)<br />
<br />
<b>SPLICE Ensemble</b> - The SPLICE Ensemble is a trumpet, piano, and
percussion trio focussed on cultivating a canon of the most
important works composed <span class="il">for</span> instruments and electronics. Through seminars, lectures, master classes, concerts, and commissions,
the SPLICE Ensemble works with composers and performers on performance practice techniques <span class="il">for</span>
collaboration and integrating electronics into a traditional
performance space. The resident ensemble of both the SPLICE Summer
Institute and the SPLICE Festival,
the SPLICE Ensemble has been a featured ensemble at M Woods in Beijing,
SEAMUS, the Electroacoustic Barndance, SCI National, Electronic Music
Midwest. They have recorded on both the SEAMUS and Parma Labels.<br />
<br />
<b>Transient Canvas</b> - Praised by the Boston Globe as "superb", Amy
Advocat and Matt Sharrock have been blazing their own trail as the
bass clarinet/marimba duo Transient Canvas since 2011. In that time they
have premiered over 75 works, essentially
creating an entirely new repertoire <span class="il">for</span> their unique instrumentation. Fearless in their programming and hungry <span class="il">for</span>
new collaborations TC performs anywhere from microbreweries to concert
halls and actively seeks out new composers who will stretch their
instrumentation
to its limits.</span>

<h3>
CALL FOR WORKS</h3>
<br />
The <a href="https://www.facebook.com/StokeNewingtonContemporaryMusicFestival/?fref=ts">Stoke Newington Contemporary Music Festival</a> and experimental chamber choir the <a href="http://www.vocalconstructivists.com/">Vocal Constructivists</a> are jointly issuing a CALL FOR GRAPHIC SCORES to composers, artists, graphic designers - and anyone else who feels creative.<br />
<br />
The winning entry will be performed by the Vocal Constructivists in their concert as part of this year’s Festival at St. Mary’s Old Church, Stoke Newington on 5th December. The winner and selected others may also be exhibited at the concert venue on the night.<br />
<br />
The Constructivists’ concert takes the centenary of Kazimir Malevich's Eight Red Rectangles as the starting point for a fascinating journey through contemporary Polish scores incorporating graphics and text instructions, tightroping the intersection of a cappella vocal performance and live art.<br />
<br />
Scores might or might not respond to this context, but we welcome a variety of approaches to the graphic score medium. Send scanned or photographed scores to <a href="mailto:sncontemporarymusic@gmail.com">sncontemporarymusic@gmail.com</a>.<br />

The event sees its 5th year in association with the Journal for Music, Technology and Education (JMTE). iFIMPaC creates a unique environment for composers, producers, music industry representatives, academics, educators and students to discuss their compositional, pedagogical and production work as practice-led research.</p><p>Works under 12 minutes in stereo or multichannel formats will be considered.</p><br />

<p>Erin Bomboy, a dance choreographer, seeks music for a new dance piece.<br />
Inspired by the book, The Wisdom of Crowds, she plans to use the audience as<br />
the final arbiter for the music selection. Works should be recorded for<br />
stereo playback between 4:30 to 5:00 minutes in length and submitted as MP3<br />
audio files.</p><br />
<p><strong>Deadline: Monday, October 19th 2012</strong></p><br />
<p>First Prize Award: $250 commission and premier premiere as part of Movement<br />
Research's Open Performance series on January 23rd at 8PM</p><br />
<p>Honorary Prize: a NYC premier performance with dance at Composer's Voice<br />
concert series November 18th at 1PM</p><br />
<p>The process will unfold in three parts.</p><br />
<h4>PART 1</h4><br />
<p>Composers may submit 4:30 to 5:00 minutes of material using the parameters<br />
and general outline listed below.</p><br />
<h4>PART 2</h4><br />
<p>5 semifinalist compositions will be selected. They will premiere in live<br />
performance at Composer's Voice on Sunday, November 18th at 1PM featuring<br />
Bomboy's choreography. The movements of the dance will not be altered<br />
although speed, movement quality, and performance quality may change based<br />
on the dancers' response to the music. Videos of the piece will be made<br />
available to the public. Interested parties may vote for their favorite<br />
music/dance combination.</p><br />
<h4>PART 3</h4><br />
<p>The composer who obtains the most votes wins the commission to finish the<br />
piece (another 4-5minutes) and a $250 PRIZE! The full piece will premiere as<br />
part of Movement Research's Open Performance series on January 23rd at 8PM.</p><br />
<h4>PARAMETERS</h4><br />
<p>The piece will involve two female dancers exploring the idea of a parallel<br />
universe. The dancers will confront the ramifications of encountering your<br />
personal duplicate. The performances will perform in pointe shoes but not<br />
dancing in a balletic style.</p><br />
<p>You can see a link of Bomboy's choreography here:<br />
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zy0EIBVyf8I">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zy0EIBVyf8I</a></p><br />
<h4>GENERAL MUSICAL OUTLINE</h4><br />
<ul><li>:00 -:45= short bursts of sound punctuated by silence<br />
<br />
<li>:46 - 1:30 = sounds becoming more cohesive and organized<br />
<br />
<li>1:31 - 2:20 = sounds develop into a cohesive melody, a pulsing rhythm begins<br />
at some point<br />
<br />
<li>2:21 - 3:20 = melody becomes more unsettling and the rhythm intensifies<br />
<br />
<li>3:21 - 4:10 = short bursts of sound and silence interspersed with a driving<br />
melody/rhythm<br />
<br />
<li>4:10 - 4:45 = Frenetic build up that stops short of a climax<br />
</ul>
<p>All times are approximations.</p>
<p>A consistent time signature is requested. For example works that start in
6/8 should stay in 6/8 and not change to 4/4 during the piece. Tempo is the
composer's choice.</p>
