Royal Welsh College goes Sonic in 2010!
In 2010 the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama, in
partnership with Sonic Artists in Wales (SAW), is hosting the first
Electroacoustic Symposium.
SAW promotes and fosters sonic art across Wales, providing
opportunities for sharing, creating and performing Sonic Art.
The international Electroacoustic festival, to be held on 25
& 26 March, will include research papers, installations,
workshop demonstrations and concert performances as well as a video
link keynote speech from the internationally renowned composer
Kevin Austin (founder of Concordia Electroacoustic Community).
‘I'm absolutely delighted that the Royal Welsh
College is hosting this festival which will draw sonic artists and
composers from across Wales, providing them with an extraordinary
opportunity to collaborate and network with international artists
and researchers,’ says Simon Kilshaw, Lecturer in Creative
Music Technology at the College. ‘It will be a hub of
creativity and a fantastic experience for our student, affirming
the College's status as a leader in the performance of sonic art
and contemporary music.’
Researchers working in electro-acoustic music are invited to
submit abstracts for presentations addressing a range of themes
from narrative in electroacoustic music to handheld/gestural
technology for performance.
