>Recorded work composed in studio, projected over

>diffusion through a reduced system of  
>loudspeakers deployed within a specific space.
>The "musiques & recherches" acousmonium consists 
>of 60 loudspeakers and an analog console that 
>can send out up to 40 channels. In this 
>competition,  spatialization is done "manually", 
>that is, free of any digital-technology 
>automated storing and programming spatialization 
>system.
>The interpreters themselves control and play the 
>console during the competition, so, their 
>presence is absolutely essential.
>
>The competition is open to the public and will take place from october 20 to
>22, 2006 as part of the 13rd international 
>acousmatic festival "the Space of Sound" at the 
>marni theatre in brussels.
