Call: Sound is art))) competition
This is a call from http://www.phonurgia.org/concours_crea_regle_Us.htm
New call for works
sound is art)))
Phonurgia Nova awards 2008
deadline :15 october
The Loud-speaker is probably the greatest common denominator in all our lives to-day. Video, multimedia, car radios, mobile phones are all crafting a new life for sound. In all domains sound is an objet of research, of reflexion.
It is essential to open up creative, imaginative spaces for sound.
And to encourage people to listen.
Christian Leblé, chairman.
#01 Background
Among the prizes awarded for radio art and acoustic creation, the Phonurgia Nova competition has, since 1986, occupied a special place by virtue of its recognition of artists whose work exploits sound as a medium for expressing the real and the imaginary. The contest is open to all radio station formats and to all authors, independant radio producers, musicians, composers, sound artists and production teams. An international jury panel made up of representatives from the radio industry, the press and the sound art world judge the entries. In 2007, 152 productions from 15 different countries were entered in the prize.
#02 Call for Works
This year’s competition will distinguish authors whose work manifests a keen sense of sound and listening as means of expression.
The jury will deliberate on two areas :
++ Radio Arts will privilige all forms of inventive radiophonic creation (documentary, feature, fiction, essays, Hörspiel, experimental forms etc.)
++ Inter Media awards will go to sound installations or works which have been specially created for “inter media environment” to bring new experiences in sound to listeners.
In each category the jury will deliberate on two types of work :
1)completed productions
2)projects
#03 How to apply
The competition is open to Read the rest of this entry »
Sumanth Gopinath and Jason Stanyeck “Digital Auditory Cultures and the Problem of ‘Mobile Music’”
Music, Sound and the Reconfiguration of Public and Private Space Conference – “Urban and mobile music/sound” panel continued:
The talk by Sumanth Gopinath (who wrote “Ringtones, or the auditory logic of globalisation”) and Jason Stanyeck “Digital Auditory Cultures and the Problem of ‘Mobile Music’” gave a very detailed analysis of mobile music, using the Nike+ range as a case study. They talked about the fundamentally complex experiences of mobile music. Hardt, Negri, and Harraway served as a background to discuss bioregulation and self-regulation in relation to exercising and mobile technology.
Their concerns with auditory feedback of bodily data also chimes with Sonic Interaction Design (SID) group around Thomas Herrmann, that are researching the sonification of biomedical data. Tim Rice presentation of sound in hospitals “Broadcasting the Body: the private made public in a London hospital”, and John Wynne recording that were part of the evening’s concert, and who presented at the Sound Art conference in Copenhagen, are also relevant in this context.
Gopinath and Stanyeck’s paper was very interesting in their focus on the body and the sounds of the body in relation to public and private, health and illness, mobility and immobility. The Nike+ is a system where Read the rest of this entry »
Levack: “Ochlophonics Hong Kong: Everyday Sound Practices Within the Crowd”
Music, Sound and the Reconfiguration of Public and Private Space Conference – “Urban and mobile music/sound” panel continued:
John Levack Drever’s (Goldsmiths’ College, London) talk “Ochlophonics Hong Kong: Everyday Sound Practices Within the Crowd” was next. I picked up a few random points that don’t reflect the soundscape recording focus of his talk. Levack taught at a university in Hong Kong and observed that it was perfectly normal for students to talk on the phone and text during lectures.
He also observed a very different notion of public and private space, especially as many spaces are highly commercialised. People in Hong Kong don’t seem to listen to Read the rest of this entry »
