Organised Sound - Sound Installation

[Garth Paine <GPaine@xxxxxxxxx>]

Excuse the follow up posting here, but I wanted remind people of this
important opportunity to contribute to discourse on Sound Installation
practice.  Please note, we are looking for articles that deal with the
critical and conceptual framework of sound installation, weather that be an
individual work or a theoretical base, not precis of projects.

Sound Installation

Sound inherently occupies space. It acts upon the space and, in turn, is
conditioned by it. Space and time are inexorably linked in the sonic domain.

Many musicians, composers and artists have found the sound installation to
be a powerful vehicle for expression, whether they are making explicit the
inter-relationships between sound and space (acoustics, psychoacoustics,
etc.) or reflecting on the more abstract notions of human experience.
"Organised Sound" is interested in exploring how sound installation is
viewed by contemporary practitioners, critics and theorists. Sound
installation practice has been well established for some decades, yet there
has been relatively little published in this area, particularly in terms of
critical studies.

We invite submissions that address the creation of works where the primary
medium is sound, and where the work addresses, fills, changes and above all,
requires space for its execution. Works to be discussed may be designed for
physical spaces, be they architectural (public, or civic environments, or
specialist environments such as art galleries and museums) or environmental
spaces (outdoors, underwater, etc.), or they may be designed for virtual
space (Virtual Reality systems, game consoles, the internet), or conceptual
works for imaginary space.  Works may be focused upon the demands of the
chosen site, as is true for most site-specific works, or take a generic
approach to site.  They may also be designed to address a public, select,
private or non-existent audience.

Please note that "Organised Sound" also accepts articles outside the theme
of each issue at any time.

Deadline for submissions is 1 March 2003. Submissions may consist of papers
with optional supporting audio and/or audio-visual material that will be
presented as part of the journal's annual CD-ROM (to appear with issue 8/3).
Additional multimedia material may also be placed on the Cambridge
University Press website.

Enquiries should be addressed to Garth Paine (gpaine@xxxxxxxxx) or Leigh
Landy (llandy@xxxxxxxxx).
