In
its seventh year, the National Student Electronic Music Event solicits
works for its annual conference on March 9-10, 2018 at the University of
North Texas in Denton, Texas. Our guest artist for the festival will
be Carla Scaletti.
Composers
currently enrolled as graduate or undergraduate students in a United
States college or university are invited to submit works in the
following categories:
- Music/Multimedia Works
- Papers/Technical Demostrations
- Audio/Video Installations
Submission deadline: December 15, 2017 11:59pm
Entry and Registration Fee: None
Individuals may submit only one work in each category:
1. Music
- Electroacoustic music for fixed media, with up to 28 channels of audio.
- Works combining musical instruments or voice with electronics.
- Works for electronic instruments.
- Video and multimedia works.
Works
in progress will be considered if a substantial part of the work is
complete. The accepted works cannot exceed the duration indicated at the
time of submission, and the final version cannot be substantially
different from the versions submitted.
For the selection process, multichannel works must be submitted as stereo mixes.
Works
for instruments and electronics may be considered for performance by
the Nova ensemble (UNT's new music ensemble), although composer provided
performers are encouraged. Works of any length may be submitted, but
for practical reasons, works up to 12 minutes in duration will be more
easily accommodated.
2. Papers/Presentations
We
seek paper presentations or technical demostrations on topics related
to the field of electroacoustic music. Please submit an abstract for
consideration. Paper presentations are limited to 20 minutes, including
Q&A.
3. Sound Installations
We seek sound installations to be presented in one of the CEMI studios for
the duration of the conference. Basic video projection and sound
reinforcement will be provided. Artists will be responsible for bringing
all other necessary equipment.

Please submit works and papers for consideration to our submission form by Friday, December 15th at 11:59 P.M. Submissions after this time will not be considered.
