SIMULTAN 2012 - CALL FOR VIDEO WORKS
-----------------------------
SIMULTAN FESTIVAL #8 | 'The beginning of the end'
11-13 october 2012 timisoara, romania
Deadline: 15 september 2012
-----------------------------
http://www.simultan.org/en/2012/callforentry.htm
FESTIVAL INFO AND THEME
SIMULTAN is a festival dedicated to media art and artistic experiment, which
aims to create a bond between different media and encourage new and
innovative forms of artistic expression, in the field of visual, sound art
and music
Based on a different theme every year, the festival presents video art
projections, music live performances, interdisciplinary works,
installations, lectures.
The 8th edition of the Simultan Festival will take place from October 11 to
13, under the title 'The Beginning of The End' (TBOTE). This theme wishes to
reflect upon the phenomenon 2012, which includes a set of cataclysmic or
processing assumptions.
2012 is considered the year of changes, different Conspiracy theories were
born about the apocalypse and the end of the world - those beliefs or
speculations are related to the long Mesoamerican calendar, according to
which a cycle ends in the history of Earth and mankind. A New Age
interpretation of this transition would be that this date marks the
beginning of a new era, a positive physical or spiritual transformation,
abandoning reliance on the material level, allowing humanity to enter a new
era, one of universal harmony.
Scientists have rejected proposals like pseudoscience, stating that it
conflicts with simple astronomical observations and targets distraction from
more important issues such as global warming and biodiversity loss.
These theories seem distant and unclear in relation to the pressure of the
present and the uncertainty of the near future.
'The Beginning of The End' is questioning how this transformation process is
perceived by the individual in the present socio-political and economical
context, how we think this interpretation affects our present. This is the
question that this situation is rising inside us.
TERMS OF ENTRY
Simultan is open for submissions of innovative works, which use technology
in a creative, ingenious way or are based on a peculiar, unusual story.
- categories: video, experimental video, fiction, documentary, experimental
documentary, motion graphics, experimental animation, digital/generative.
- number of works: max 2 / author
- duration: maximum 10 minutes each
APPLICATION METHOD
- online or by post
DEADLINE
15 september 2012

>
> Concordia University’s Department of Music invites applications for one tenure-track position in Electroacoustic Studies for July 1, 2013.
>
> • The department is known for its focus on creative practices in contemporary and classical music, jazz and electroacoustic studies. We also offer music performance (instrumental and vocal) and theory and composition as areas of concentrated study, all built around a core curriculum of general music instruction. Situated in Concordia’s vibrant Faculty of Fine Arts, faculty and students enjoy numerous cross-disciplinary opportunities, state-of-the-art resources and facilities, and a rich artistic and cultural context for research and study. Interfaces between music and other Fine Arts departments include links and collaborations with dance, theatre, animation, film, creative arts therapies, music therapy, and others. Music faculty members are well known internationally for their active contributions to research/creation, conference organization, composition, pedagogy and performance.
>
> The BFA Major in Electroacoustic Studies, one of the few of its kind in North America, attracts increasing numbers of strong candidates. A recent move into new facilities in downtown Montreal has meant several new, dedicated studios; easier access to other facilities within the Faculty; and has placed the program at the core of Montreal’s dynamic cultural life where electroacoustic work flourishes. A well-organized curriculum provides students with a balance of technological guidance, creative work, critical listening, and awareness of both history and current theoretical research. Recent developments include increased live performance, a laptop orchestra, networked telematics concerts, and collaborations especially with animation and contemporary dance.
>
>
> •• The successful candidate will be expected to teach a range of Electroacoustic courses, with a particular emphasis on ear training. Specifically, the successful candidate will be expected to teach and coordinate core ear training, as well as live, mixed, interactive, and computer-assisted performance In an increasingly connected and collaborative world, the successful candidate will be expected to contribute to other areas within and beyond the music department; therefore, besides top-flight electroacoustic skills, a certain amount of background in one or more other realms of music, or other fine arts, is desired. Besides teaching, additional expectations are: to develop a national and international research profile in the candidate’s area of expertise; to undertake administrative service; and to help strengthen links with cognate units in the university and city, such as matralab, Hexagram and other entities.
>
>
> ••• Preferred candidates should demonstrate expertise in the area of electroacoustic ear training and practice; have an active research/creation profile in the domain of live, interactive, and/or mixed performance; an excellent knowledge of current trends in relevant software and hardware developments; and evidence of artistic endeavours in the field. We are looking for an excellent teacher with very broad interests encompassing creative, conceptual, technological, historical and future-oriented issues.
>
>
> •••• Applicants should possess a completed PhD; teaching experience at the post-secondary level; a demonstrated ability to conduct and disseminate innovative research; and a record of administrative and committee service. Although classes are taught in English, fluency in French would be considered a strong asset, with additional languages welcome.
>
>
> ••••• Submissions should include a covering letter, a curriculum vitae, research documentation, a statement of teaching philosophy and interests, evidence of teaching effectiveness (including course evaluations where applicable), documentation of past and current performance works, and the names and contact information of three referees, one of which must be the candidate’s department chair or dean or someone in a direct supervisory role.

Hi all,
Gemnotes 0.2 is released.
It has dynamics (at last), hairpin crescendos, and very basic articulation (just the accented note for now).
Also, the clocking is done seperately from the GEM framerate (thanks IOhannes).
Enjoy!

Guest Editor / Rédacteur invité: Marco Donnarumma
[E] Biological technologies are computational systems driven by
physiological and corporeal processes of the body. Endogenous mechanisms
that would otherwise be imperceptible become manifest in the form of data.
The field of biotechnological music performance is presented here through a
set of fascinating articles describing heterogeneous methodologies and
idiosyncratic musical ideas. (July 2012)
