[microsound] Call for Works - Australasian Computer Music CD

[Julian Knowles <julianknowles@xxxxxxx>]

ACMA CD Call for Works

The Australasian Computer Music Association is seeking contributions
by young and/or emerging Australasian composers and sound artists for a 
compilation
compact disk that will be published in 2004. The aim of the compact
disk is to showcase some of the best emerging talent from this region,
reflect the broad streams of research, production and performance that
inform contemporary sound culture, and it will be used to promote
Australasian sound culture locally and abroad.

Another important aim of the initiative is to increase the membership
of ACMA in order to have broader representation of the activities and
debates occurring in the sound community. This would enable ACMA to
facilitate events and projects that incorporate and reflect these
various interests. Therefore, anyone considering a submission is
required to become a member of ACMA, which is $15 for unemployed and
student membership, or $35 for the employed.

Membership details and new on-line membership procedure are located on
the ACMA website http://www.acma.asn.au  via the link on the left.

Julian Knowles (j.knowles@xxxxxxxxxx) and Philip Samartzis
(p.samartzis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) are curating the compact disk and the
deadline for submissions is the end of March 2004. The aim of the
curatorial team is to select works from various streams of music
exploration in order to reflect the range of activities occurring
throughout Australasia. Therefore the team encourages contributions
from emerging composers, musicians, improvisers, sound artists and
designers working with the concepts and methodologies broadly informing
contemporary music discourse. Contributions should be no no more than
10 minutes in duration. Artists whose works are included on the compact
disk will each receive five copies and have their works performed.

Please send works, postmarked before the end of March 2004, to:

Philip Samartzis
Lecturer & Coordinator of Sound
Media Arts
School of Art & Culture
GPO Box 2476V
