Call: A DIAMOND IN THE MUD seeks artists for "A Miniature Audio Exhibition of Stereophonic Soundscape & Horspiel Works"

A DIAMOND IN THE MUD


A Miniature Audio Exhibition of Stereophonic Soundscape & Horspiel Works

Call For SHORT STEREOPHONIC SOUNDSCAPE & HOERSPIEL WORKS: A DIAMOND IN THE MUD
Deadline: September 15, 2008

PROJECT CONCEPT: It is an Asian concept rooted in Buddhism that self-cultivation can be developed at home as a householder and is not merely confined to a temple or monastery. Buddhist believe that enlightened beings are those who "grew" out of the "mud" of the material world. So, like the lotus flower, which penetrates through sullied mud and water, but emerges unspoiled, enlightened beings are beautiful and pure even though they grow up in the material world. The phrase "a diamond in the mud" is an analogy for this and in keeping with it the Digital Art Weeks would like to issue this call to artists and to submit pre recorded works (Soundscape, Horspiel, Poetry) in regard to the beautiful and the sullied. The works will be chosen on their ability to transcend the listeners into a "moment of tranquilly" and out of the confines of the everyday, or as expressed in the Diamond Sutra: "Dwell upon nothing and produce the pure mind."

PLAYBACK SYSTEM: Constructed as a dock for Apple's famed iPod, the iCarta stereophonic audio playback system will be used to play back all of the selected works. The system not only offers an interesting solution for public pod-casting, but it also acts uniquely as a bathroom dispenser for the indispensable: Le papier toilette. - Art Clay, DAW, Artistic Director (c) 2008


DEADLINE: Monday, 15th September 2008. Notification of acceptance of proposals will be sent out on or before Monday, 22nd September 2008.

CALL FOR ELECTROACOUSTIC WORKS BY WOMEN COMPOSERS for"Inclusive Voices" Festival

CALL FOR ELECTROACOUSTIC WORKS BY WOMEN COMPOSERS


7th ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL WOMEN´S ELECTROACOUSTIC LISTENING ROOM PROJECT (WEALR)


Postmark Deadline: Dec. 15th, 2007
7th Annual Festival of New Music
California State University, Fullerton


Inclusive Voices: Healing the Divide
February 28 - March 2, 2008


Featuring:
Miya Masaoka, Composer, Performer, Sound Artist, Koto and electronics,
International Women's Electroacoustic Listening Room Project SO
Percussion Ensemble with Lisa Moore, pianist from Bang on a Can,
Martin Bresnick, Guest Composer with SO and CSUF Symphony Orchestra,
Bora Korkmaz and Fureya Unal, flute and piano duo from Turkey, Pamela
Madsen and Ken Walicki, Co-Directors


This year's 7th Annual New Music Festival is a landmark year. After 6
years of celebrating Women in New Music the festival will move to an
inclusive format - celebrating works by women composers alongside
works by men composers! We look for inclusive in programming and works
that bridge the divide between gender, culture, media.


After careful consideration, the one thing that will remain intact is
the International Women's Electroacoustic Listening Room Project. As I
have traveled throughout the US, Canada and Europe with the
International Women´s Electroacoustic Listening Room Project I have
found that this is an area of vital research and empowerment for women
composers internationally and needs to be continued. This year's call
for electroacoustic works by women composers focuses on theme of
"healing."


International Women's Electroacoustic Listening Room Project: The
Women in New Music Festival features day-long playback of works by
women in electroacoustic music. During the 6 hours of the
electroacoustic listening room the listener's mind is immersed in the
sounds of diverse compositional voices of women composers in
electroacoustic music from over 20 different countries from around the
globe.


The Women's Electroacoustic Listening Room strives to present a
diverse sampling of different approaches to electronic music, with
examples from classical computer music, environmental music, and
meditative music to works that expand acoustic virtuosity and
improvisation with virtual instruments to sonic documentaries that
capture the inner workings of the mind: horror, humor and the
unfolding of human dramas. This year the Women's Electroacoustic
Listening Room focuses on the theme of Inclusive Voices: Healing the
Divide.


Submit your proposed CD recording of electronic work for inclusion in
the International Women´s Electroacoustic Listening Room Project.
Maximum length 12 minutes.


Please include: CD of proposed work, submission information: Title of
work, length of work, name of composer, contact information, program
notes and short bio to address below.


In addition, send all submission information: Title of work, length of
work, name of composer, contact information, program notes and short
bio by email to pmadsen@fullerton.
