INTER/actions: Symposium on Interactive Electronic Music
Sunday March 6, 2016
Bangor University School of Music
In collaboration with the Bangor Music Festival
INTER/actions is a symposium and mini-festival focusing on performance and
interaction in electronic music. We aim to provide an environment to
exchange ideas and instigate collaborations for composers, performers,
sound artists and music technologists interested in the role of the
performer in electronic music, whether in the traditional sense, or
audience-as-performer. We are looking for creative proposals for
performances, interactive installations and paper sessions.
Call for Proposals: Pieces
Deadline: December 18 2015
We invite composers and performers to submit works for instruments and
interactive electronics, instruments and fixed media or gestural
controllers for the festival concerts. Compositions must be fully
documented with technical performance specifications. A concert recording,
studio recording, simulation or video should be submitted, sufficient to
give a reasonable idea of the final form of the piece / performance.
Please send a link to an online audio excerpt or email an mp3 file along
with full technical requirements and a score, if applicable, as well as a
short biography (150 words) to [log in to unmask]
Performances will be able to make use of the following facilities:
8-channel loudspeaker playback (ATC)
Various microphones (including Schoeps Collette/MK4 and AKG414)
Soundcraft mixer with 16+16 inputs (switchable), 16 direct outputs, 8
groups, 2 mix, 4 AUX send, 2 FX send
Mac Pro computer with MOTU 24 i/o interface
3x MOTU 828 and 1 RME Fireface 800 FireWire/USB interfaces
Large-screen video projection
Steinway D Concert Grand Piano
Composers / performers who need additional equipment are requested to
bring their own. Composers / performers who make use of their own software
(for example, Max patches, SuperCollider) will be expected to take
responsibility for installing and operating the software, including
providing any libraries that may be required. We are not able to provide
performers for the pieces. Selected composers are expected to attend the
symposium to contribute to the sense of community.
Call for Proposals: Papers and Demos
Deadline: December 18 2015
We are open to proposals for 20-minute paper and demo presentations on
topics including, but not limited to:
Performance practice in electronic music
Gesture
New interface design
Compositional issues
Improvisation in interactive contexts
Analysis of interactive works
Please send a 250-word abstract, as well as a short biography (150 words)
to [log in to unmask]
Unfortunately, we are not able to make contributions to composer or
performer expenses in this edition, but we will also waive the
registration fee, making the symposium free to attend.
