Sound artists will propose a project involving digital audio technology. This could be an acousmatic piece, an installation, a new media performance, or anything in between! Sound artists will complete the project over the course of the lab with access to studio facilities, resources and exhibition space. The Sound Art lab runs parallel with the other participants allowing for many opportunities for cross-pollination and discovery.
During the first four days of the workshop, the sound artists work in studios to realise their projects. They also present their projects to the other participants and have an open-studio day where other participants and guest artists are invited to see the works in progress.
The remaining six days are devoted to revision of the works, beginning with an open discussion where all the participants are invited to comment on the work. Each sound artist then revises and completes their project. The Sound Art Lab concludes in a public exhibition with a hybrid gallery-concert format (depending on the proposals submitted). All participants will receive high-quality recordings of their works where applicable.
We encourage an open atmosphere of experimental creation to electroacoustic composers and new media artists with diverse practices. Please consult our technical rider for a complete list of our resources and information about our studio and exhibition spaces.
