Bourges – April  / May 2017

One of the most profound mysteries of this world is its creation, its birth, its life... As Anaxagoras said, "Nothing of the things that exist ever dies; rather each thing, as it is separated from another, takes on a different shape." Thus the composer creates a new universe of sounds, forms, harmonies from what he knows, what he has learned...

As part of the Art & Science Days, Musinfo proposes to composers and artists from around the world to participate in a call for a sound or multimedia work.

We dedicate this 2017 edition of the call for works to sound and visual / scientific and imaginary creation.

Theme:                                                          Creation

The subject of this call is the relationship between science and arts in general and the link between creation and sound in particular. The works must either take their inspiration from scientific knowledge, or apply this knowledge in their compositional process.

Categories:

Two categories of works will be accepted:
                         1) sound works - stereo or multitrack
                         2) multimedia works - audiovisual

Diffusion of the works:

A "concert selection" will be presented on June 19th during the multimedia concert and an "installations selection" will be presented during listening sessions in a sound installation called Magic Boxes, all during the Art & Science Days 2017 in Bourges (June 19-23).

Participation requirements :

• This project is open to any composer, performer and sound artist.
• Any work that does not deal with the theme will not be selected.
• The duration of the work must be between 3 and 5 minutes maximum.
• The work must be free of any rights of reproduction and distribution under the obvious subject to copyright.
