Extended Deadline for contributions: 2024-05-12
Speculative Sound Synthesis Symposium 2024, 26 - 28 September 2024, Graz, Austria Institute of Electronic Music and Acoustics, University of Music and Performing Arts Graz
Dear colleagues,
The submission deadline for the Speculative Sound Synthesis Symposium 2024 has been extended to May 12, 2024. This extension is intended to give potential contributors more time to prepare and submit their proposals.
Speculative Sound Synthesis deals with the relationship between technology and artistic thinking in computer music. It attempts to productively destabilize this relationship by artistically questioning the standards of sound synthesis.
Call for Contributions
We are looking for artistic research contributions that investigate speculative approaches to sound synthesis, computation, and music technology. These contributions should explore aesthetic positions that offer alternative perspectives to standardized ways of thinking and creating. The symposium aims to unite speculative approaches that make computational processes perceptible and address the tension between contingency and control in artistic practice.
Contribution Formats
We welcome proposals that use a variety of formats, such as (but not limited to) live-performance, lecture-performance, paper presentation, fixed-media, installation, workshop, exhibition of objects/sounds etc.
