An ever-changing, ever-evolving, temporal event that explains >itself by leaving a residue . . . . . . . > >Sunday, December 21, 1997. > Linden Gallery, St Kilda, Melbourne > >Linden Gallery hosts Sonic Residues, an all day event of electro acoustic >music and sound art. > >Call for works > >Garth Paine, the curator, is calling for works that fall within two categori= >es. > >1) Evolutionary Pieces > >These pieces will be established within one of the four galleries available >for this event. They should evolve and change over a lengthy period of >time, ie four to eight hours. They may draw on audience or visitor >presence as an interactive response and they may use acoustic performers as >part of the evolutionary process at different points during the day. It >should be understood that these works will become part of a more complex >background environment and should therefore be written with consideration >for the other sonic events that will occur in the gallery, or in close >proximity, throughout the day. > >2) Works of Finite Duration > >These works are being sought for a number of concerts that will occur at >approximately two hour intervals during the day. They should be not more >than 15 minutes duration, and unless the composer can provide the hardware, >of not more than four tracks. > >The overall theme is one of environment and interaction. There will >undoubtedly be a lot of interaction between the pieces occurring within the >space during the day. There are four galleries available but they do not >have sound proofing nor doors available to reduce the cross talk between >the areas. > >The four galleries present an interesting challenge for the specialisation >of sound and for interactive possibilities. Interactive performance is >encouraged and could take the form of audience interaction, dance, >movement, singing, text and acoustic instruments. > >It is hoped that a four channel dissemination system will be available in >each studio, however playback devices are very limited and composers are >encouraged to consider what resources they may be able to supply themselves >to bring their works to fruition. > >=85 No fees can be paid, however an APRA license will be current and those >who register their works can claim a performance royalty. > >=85 The deadline for submission outlines is October 18, 1997. All submission= >s >should include a detailed statement of required equipment with an >indication by the artist of how much of that equipment they themselves >could supply. > >=85 Final recordings or scores should be presented no later than November 22= >. >Scores should be accompanied by a recording of the work. > >This is an all day event to which you can buy an all day ticket ($10)or a >single concert ticket ($5). There will be food and drink available on the >lawn outside the Gallery so that people can make a day of it, being able to >wander in and out experiencing the evolution of the sonic space and the >individual concerts. > >=85 Concerts are proposed to occur at 12.00 PM, 2.00 PM, 4.00 PM, 6.00 PM, >possibly 8.00 PM. > >The gallery will be available for installation on Saturday December 20. >All the equipment will be required to be removed on the evening of Sunday, >December 21. > >The event will be widely publicised by posters and in the press. > >The objective of this event is to encourage a wider public interest in >electro acoustic music and sound art. > >=46inancial support from the Port Phillip City Council and Linden Gallery is >gratefully acknowledged. > >Please contact Garth Paine. > >Telephone/FAX - 61 3 95275549 Melbourne, Australia >E-mail - garth@creativeaccess.com.au > >*************************************************** >---------------------------------------------------- > > >PS.
