---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: SuperCollider Symposium London <info@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> The SuperCollider Symposium is an international event for musicians, artists, researchers and coders working with the SuperCollider software. It features a technical conference, introductory workshops, and a diverse programme of music and art. The next SuperCollider Symposium will be April 12th–19th 2012, in London. http://sc2012.org.uk/ We invite submissions of music, artistic works, talks, and workshops. Submissions will be peer-reviewed, and should be submitted by: * Submission date: 16th Oct 2011 * Notification of acceptance: 2nd Dec 2011 The Symposium will be hosted at various venues across East London, by QMUL Centre for Digital Music, Goldsmiths Digital Studios, City University Centre for Music Studies, and other partners. All concerts, performances and exhibitions will be open to the public. Further details for submissions (plus submission instructions, at the end): ////////////////// // TALKS Conference talks are invited on topics of SuperCollider-related research, technical development, or artistic/musical practice. (Note that submission is by abstract only, there are no full papers.) Some examples of subject areas include: * Audio/music synthesis * Interactive sound and music * Machine listening * Generative sound and music * Artistic developments * Teaching and Learning * Creative Collaborations * Extending SuperCollider * Using SuperCollider with other environments ////////////////// // CLUB MUSIC The symposium will feature a club night in an East London venue. Therefore we’re calling for submissions of music for dancing to. Acts can be any style, but must include some substantial use of SuperCollider. ////////////////// // MUSICAL/SOUND WORKS City University London in partnership with Plus-Minus ensemble (http://www.plusminusensemble.com) will host an evening concert of musical/sound works in City University Performance Space. Works may fall into two categories: 1. purely electronic/electroacoustic/acousmatic, or 2. instrument/s plus live electronics. Available instruments are clarinet (doubling bass clarinet), violin, and piano (doubling accordion). All works must include some substantial use of SuperCollider. Technical specs: 8-channel loudspeaker ring with subs, plus on-stage stereo pair. Alternative loudspeaker configurations may be possible. ////////////////// // WORKS FOR EXHIBITION The exhibition programme at the Symposium will be hosted at the Art Pavilion gallery (Mile End Park, London E3 4QY) and in the adjoining Arts Park, which features a small lake island. We seek proposals for works small or large, which may be exhibited in the gallery space and/or the outside space (lake, island, bridges). Proposals which make use of the outside area are particularly encouraged. Works must include some substantial use of SuperCollider.
