eContact! extends an open call for contributions to an issue featuring divergent approaches to electroacoustic creation, including hardware hacking, live coding, DIY instruments and set-ups, circuit bending, installations, interactivity, laptop orchestras, videomusic and more.
The inclusion of audio and video support documentation, photos, technical diagrammes and sketches is strongly encouraged. Audio and video examples should be submitted in the highest quality possible.
Submission deadline: 1 May 2010
Publication: 15 May 2010
Submission Guidelines can be found here.
Suggestions for contributions include, but are not limited to the following ideas:
- alt_article. About your work and instrument(s): what led you to work this way, what developments can we expect from your project in the future? etc.
- alt_exposé. Accompanied by significant amounts of audio and video examples, the exposé is an A/V presentation of the development of your instrument or project, explains how the instrument is built or functions in context, or documents phases of the project (exposé example here). alt_gallery. The gallery offers an overview and comparison or discussion of several works or individuals and groups working with a particular direction, genre, project, technical setup, etc. (gallery example here).
- Other ideas and proposals are also welcome.
Please keep in mind that while eContact! is greatly interested in promoting a great diversity of electroacoustic practices, it is not a venue for “shameless self-promotion”. Submissions including nothing more than audio/video files or internet links will be refused.
New and/or unpublished materials are preferred but reprints of previously published materials are also possible (eContact! will credit and link to original publications). The author is responsible for securing all permissions and clearing any copyrights related to the submission.
The eContact! editorial team reserves the right to limit the number of articles published by or about a single artist in this issue.
