CALL FOR APPLICATIONS

I'mPULSE

Third Asia-Europe Music Camp

Beijing, China

14-21 May 2006



Background:

For the Third Asia-Europe Music Camp, I'mPULSE, digital music 
technology will take centre stage as a medium for creative 
performance and composition. This project is ASEF's initial attempt 
to embark on the current/latest trends in music specifically focused 
on DJs. Maintaining I'mPULSE's musical focus whilst keeping itself 
abreast of the advancing digital music applications and practices, 
ASEF will further establish and enhance the role it as a key player 
in promoting process oriented exchange and dialogue amongst young 
music practitioners.

This camp is envisioned to bring together 25 emerging DJs from Europe 
and Asia to engage in a dialogue through comprehensive digital music 
technology experimentation. DJs who are exploring varied ways of 
mixing music will be given the opportunity to share their passion in 
creating and recreating music.
