AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

Submissions now open for a new quarterly event taking place in Edinburgh, UK.

This is the first in a series of intensive listening events, based around
unamplified live performance works, and recorded sound pieces submitted
from across the globe. Part of the event takes place in the dark, the
central idea being to create a space of heightened collective
concentration, free of the normal distractions of concert venues and
gallery spaces, to maximise receptiveness to new listening possibilities.
I've been asked to curate the recorded soundworks section of the first
event.

Pieces should comprise between one minute and eight minutes of audio.
There's no restriction on the type of material submitted - e.g. composed or
improvised music, pure or processed phonography, spoken word, intercepted
signals etc - but what we're looking for is material likely to introduce
audiences to unfamiliar listening experiences, or listening experiences not
normally associated with a performance/concert setting.

To submit a piece, please email the following details to me at
audio@nulmedia.com -

* Name of artist/recordist
* Brief bio of artist/recordist (max 100 words)
* Title and duration of piece
* Description of piece (max 100 words)
* Any contact info you would wish to be included in the event programme
(e.g. website, contact email)

Preferred method of file exchange is to upload files to Dropbox and share
them with audio@nulmedia.com
If you would rather email audio to me directly, please first let me know in
your initial email the sizes of the files you want to send.
Audio files should be in wav or aiff format.

The event is independent of funding, so at present there are no fees for
contributors.

With respect to the eight minute time limit, extracts/edits of more
extended pieces are fine.

All the best -

Gordon Kennedy
