Spatialization competition "space of sound"
Interpretation of acousmatic works
Acousmatic
Recorded work composed in studio, projected over
loudspeakers in concert, without live
intervention of other sound sources.
The interpretation of acousmatic works through
spatialization involves sound-projection and
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.
The registration form and other required
documents as indicated in the competition
guidelines must be sent to "musiques &
recherches" by mail, postmarked before July 9,
2006.
There is no registration fee.
Each candidate will be required to present four works as follows:
- one imposed piece
- two works selected the day before the
performance, from the list of "classical
repertory" which candidates will be sent upon
completion of registration
- one work of the candidates' choice (personal
compositions are not recommended).
Maximum duration of each work is 15 minutes.
Prizes are awarded on the last day of the festival, october 22nd, 2004.
