PK> SOUND POETRY CONTEST

PK> http://www.acsr.be/concours.php

PK> "Language is only a way of understanding or not understanding . You prefer
PK> language to understand platitudes that everyone already knows by heart. We
PK> prefer language that brings you a new feeling for new times"  -Kurt
PK> Schwitters 

PK> "L’Atelier de création sonore radiophonique" is organising an international
PK> sound poetry contest. This contest is open to all.  

PK> The contest fits in with what is commonly called sound poetry. We would
PK> like to avoid sticking to a more precise or sharp definition. We ask the
PK> participants to create an original work including a corporal work on voice
PK> and a editing and mixing work also: a mix of sound and voice. The idea is
PK> to create a "sound object" in a Schaefferian way of speaking. 

PK> Will be excluded from the contest works limited to:
PK> - a simple declamation of text
PK> - a purely sound or musical form 

PK> "Considering sound poetry, where words may lose their so-called meaning or
PK> new words be created at random, the question arises as to what line can be
PK> drawn between music and poetry, with specific reference to the music of
PK> composers like John Cage who construct symphonies from juxtaposed sounds.
PK> The answer is that there is no such line. The lines separating music and
PK> poetry, writing and painting, are purely arbitrary, and sound poetry is
PK> precisely designed to break down these categories and to free poetry from
PK> the printed page without dogmatically ruling out the convenience of the
PK> printed page"
PK> William Burroughs. Excerpt from an introductory text for Henri Chopin's
PK> book on “Poésie Sonore international” 

PK> Maximum length of a sound poem is 3 minutes. 

PK> Participants can hand in up to 3 creations with only one recording for each
PK> support. Participants can work alone or in a group. 

PK> Registration : 

PK> The registration to the contest is free of charge.
PK> Date limit for handing in works has been set on the 1st of octobre 2003.
PK> The jury’s decisions will be publicly announced during "RADIOPHON'iC 2003"
PK> which will take place in Bussels in november of the same year. 

PK> Two prizes in cash will be granted to the winners. The complete list of
PK> prizes will be specified later on.

PK> Resonant Cities: Call for Sound Works
PK> ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

PK> New Media Scotland seeks sound works for 'Resonant Cities': Internet 
PK> radio streaming that explore the sonic identity of our surrounding 
PK> space and that engage with the fragmented 'noise' of the city 
PK> soundscape: people, traffic, communication intrusions, mobile phones, 
PK> radio traffic, city wildlife, buildings...

PK> We are particularly interested in audio works which involve one or 
PK> several of the following ideas or processes:

PK> - Acoustic Ecology - Acousmatics - Phonography - Sonic research - 
PK> Radio art, Internet radio - Microsound - Lowercase sound - Internet 
PK> communication media and audio streaming - Electronic communities - 
PK> Artists' software for sound and music - Sound work developed using 
PK> open source processes and principles - Generative sound - Sound 
PK> archives - Spoken word / oral history - Field recordings - The 
PK> re-purposing / representing of existing analogue sound recordings, 
PK> such as amateur recordings, scientific recordings, and accidental, 
PK> lost or abandoned recordings -

PK> The works selected by the Drift team will then be curated into themed 
PK> streams that will be available via this web site.

PK> Our intention is to expand the audience for the work, encourage 
PK> appreciation of sound art, and broaden access to a genre which is too 
PK> often labelled as esoteric and inaccessible.

PK> We cannot pay a fee for this opportunity, but we will facilitate the 
PK> broadcast of your work.

PK> Eligibility - Open to artists, musicians, producers in the UK and 
PK> across the globe.

PK> Guidelines and submission form available from http://www.mediascot.org/drift

PK> experimental moving image works by artists and films made by 
PK> musicians, as well as pieces which combine performance aesthetics 
PK> with sound.
