Resonant Cities: Call for Sound Works


New Media Scotland seeks sound works for Drift:

an exploration of sound art and experimental music which comprises live events, radio broadcasts, moving image and publications. We are seeking sound works for ‘Resonant Cities’: Internet radio streaming that explore the sonic identity of our surrounding space and that engage with the fragmented ‘noise’ of the city soundscape: people, traffic, communication intrusions, mobile phones, radio traffic, city wildlife, buildings.

We are particularly interested in audio works which involve one or several of the following ideas or processes:
– Acoustic Ecology
– Acousmatics
– Phonography
– Sonic research
– Radio art, Internet radio
– Microsound
– Lowercase sound
– Internet communication media and audio streaming
– Electronic communities
– Artists’ software for sound and music
– Sound work developed using open source processes and principles
– Generative sound
– Sound archives
– Spoken word / oral history
– Field recordings
– The re-purposing / representing of existing analogue sound recordings, such as amateur recordings, scientific recordings, and accidental, lost or abandoned recordings

Entry forms and full details available at the website.
Closing: 31 October
