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

bio by email to pmadsen@fullerton.
