Woodstockhausen 2003 - Call for Works

[Wayne Jackson <wayne@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

"It occured to me by intuition, and music was the driving force behind that 
intuition.  My discovery was the result of musical perception."
     -- Albert Einstein (when asked about his theory of relativity)

"The music business is a cruel and shallow trench, a long plastic hallway 
where thieves and pimps run free, and good men lie like dogs.  There is 
also a negative side."
     -- Hunter S. Thompson

==============================================================================

In what is by now becoming a late summer fixation, reclusive composers of 
that strange, ill-defined, and sometimes persecuted genre "experimental 
music" creep forth from winter dwellings and peal forth gordian 
bleats.  Along with Monarch butterflies, mushroom hunters, sea lions, and 
surfers, they feel themselves inexorably drawn to the seaside town of Santa 
Cruz...

Audionauts,

I am happy to announce that Woodstockhausen will happen once again!  Also 
known as the "tiny festival of esoteric music", Woodstockhausen is a small 
festival (or a long concert, depending on how you look at it) featuring 
works of music and video art which fall well outside the mainstream.  We 
welcome the weird, the difficult, the sublime, and the just plain silly!

Submission categories include:
  --Live music works (with video, dance, etc.)
--Recorded music
--Stand-alone sound art installations
--Special submissions which somehow fall outside known boundaries

The concert date is set for September 27, and submitted works will be 
accepted for judging until August 10.  This year the judging will be done 
by a panel of past participants (who are not participating this year) who 
will base their evaluations entirely on your MP3 recorded samples without 
knowing your identity, so please make sure to give us recordings which best 
represent your work.  Artists will be notified of their participation 
status by August 20.

To submit your own work, visit the WSH2003 submissions web site at

http://www.woodstockhausen.org/WSH2003/submissions/

Please contact info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx if you have any questions or need 
clarifications regarding this event.

Good luck, and keep bleating!

"Whenever society gets too stifling and the rules get too complex, there's 
some sort of musical explosion."
     -- Slash

"...Clear Channel owns all the major radio stations and venues.  Most 
musicians aren't aware that a few people control so much of what we hear."
     -- Susan Tedeschi

"There once was a briany baboon who always breathed down a bassoon for he 
said, 'It appears that in billions of years I shall certainly hit on a tune.'"
     -- Ezra Pound
