Call for Submissions to the 2018 SEAMUS National Conference<\/b><\/p>\n

The\u00a0Society for Electro-Acoustic Music in the United States\u00a0(SEAMUS) 2018 National Conference will be held at the University of Oregon School of Music and Dance in Eugene, Oregon\u00a0March 29-31, 2018<\/b>.\u00a0 SEAMUS 2018 will be presenting an exciting and diverse range of electro-acoustic music including fixed media electroacoustic works, real-time interactive performance compositions, works that combine sound and video, and sound installations.\u00a0 The University of Oregon, the School of Music and Dance, and Future Music Oregon are thrilled about hosting the SEAMUS conference and we look forward to having you visit our beautiful campus.\u00a0 Additional information about the conference is available at:<\/p>\n

seamus2018.org<\/a><\/p>\n

Submissions<\/b><\/p>\n

Composers and sound artists may submit one original work from the broad spectrum of electronic music.\u00a0 This includes fixed media electroacoustic works, real-time interactive performance compositions, works that combine sound and video, and sound installations. \u00a0The Submission portal is currently open (https:\/\/www.seamus2018.org\/submission-portal\/<\/a>) and will close 11:59 PM PDT, October 1, 2017.<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0A link to the submission portal will be provided as we approach the portal opening date.<\/b><\/p>\n

Selected works will be presented in one of our two 8-channel concert halls, our late-night venue, our listening room, or as an installation.\u00a0 The faculty performers at the School of Music are exceptional and will provide composers exquisite performances and audiences exciting listening experiences.\u00a0 Regardless of the media or style utilized by the respective artist, utmost consideration will be given to the entry\u2019s musical qualities and sound artistry.<\/p>\n

The adjudication is a double-blind review process where composers of the submissions are not identified for the judges.\u00a0 Composers whose work is selected for inclusion in the conference are required to attend the conference.<\/p>\n

We strongly encourage student submissions.<\/p>\n

Special Proposals<\/b><\/p>\n

A. We invite proposals from performers of electro-acoustic music to present a curated concert of music performed by them or their ensemble.\u00a0 The proposal should take the form of a text document thatlists the (1) title, (2) composer, (3) duration, and (4) technical requirements for each piece contained in the proposal.\u00a0 The text document should also provide links to audio recordings of three recent performances (one of which must be a live recording (not studio) and one of which must include the use of electro-acoustics).\u00a0\u00a0Video recordings are not accepted.\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>This is a double-blind, peer-reviewed evaluation process, and\u00a0all submitted text documents and recordings must be strictly anonymous<\/b>:\u00a0 the performer(s)\u2019s name(s) must not appear\u00a0anywhere<\/b>\u00a0on the proposal, the recording, nor on the website from which the recording is accessed.\u00a0 Please ensure that links do not expire.<\/p>\n

B. We also seek proposals for lectures (more like dramatic rants) on provocative topics related to music and the arts \u2013 the more provocative the topic, the more likely it is to be accepted into the conference.\u00a0 The proposals should be 300-500 words in length; the provocative lecture should be fifteen minutes in duration with 10-15 minutes allotted for responses and questions.\u00a0\u00a0<\/i>While we are seeking \u201chot\u201d topics that will stir debate we strive to attract proposals that are well-organized and intellectually substantial.\u00a0 We do not conceptualize these lectures as being platforms that serve performance art works.\u00a0 Provocative topics affiliated with politics and religion will not be considered.<\/i><\/p>\n
