The online journal ECHO invites submissions for its upcoming eighth issue on "Electronic Lutherie: instruments, users, and creators," edited by Juan Parra Cancino (Orpheus Instituut, Ghent) and Richard Scott (Catalyst Institute for Art and Technology, Berlin). ECHO is the online publication of the Music, Thought and Technology research group at Orpheus Instituut, Ghent.

The call explores how electronic instrument designers, hardware hackers, and software developers understand and reflect creative potential in their work. Key questions address how designer intentions manifest in instruments, how obsolete/unique technologies shape artistic practice, and what agencies emerge from creative tool interaction.

Online-Einreichung

Wir alle leben heute in einer Welt, die (scheinbar) keine physischen Grenzen mehr kennt: zwischen Geschlechtern, Ländern, Orten, Kunstformen, zwischen technologischer Erfindung und künstlerischer Gestaltung, zwischen Menschen und Maschinen. Wir existieren, denken, gestalten in diesen Zwischenräumen. Sie sind wichtig, sind Teil unserer Realität. Wir sind Grenzgänger geworden.

Es sind nicht mehr nur reale Orte, an denen wir uns bewegen, begegnen, und Musik machen. Auch Bühnenräume haben sich geändert, man muss sie anders denken.

Welche Projekte suche ich:

• Konzertformate, die sich mit dem Themenkomplex „Zwischenräume“ / „Grenzgänger“ / „Durchlässigkeit“ auseinandersetzen.
• Sound Art *
• Medienkunst
• Live-Elektronik / Elektroakustik / akusmatische Musik
• interdisziplinäre künstlerische Projekte / Klanginstallationen / Performances
• Musikprojekte, die sich mit künstlicher Intelligenz auseinandersetzen

Welche Räume könnten bespielt werden:

• Konzerträume, Galerien, Museen
• öffentliche Räume
• virtuelle Räume wie der „Radioraum“ oder der „on-line Raum“ – in Verknüpfung mit realen Konzertorten in NÖ

Vermittlungsaspekt:

Ein wichtiger Aspekt für meine Projektauswahl wird sein, wie die Projekte für das Publikum aufbereitet sind. Beispiele für Vermittlung: moderierte Konzerte, Visualisierungen/erklärende Texte zu Installationen, optionale Workshops, Konzert+Workshop-Formate, Performance-Lectures…

New Adventures in Sound Art (NAISA) invites artists of all ages and nationalities to submit works on the theme "Still Here" for consideration in New Adventures in Sound Art's 2027 programming.

After 25 years, NAISA is "Still Here" — still thriving despite barriers it has faced. Who are the communities and persons that are also "still here" that continue to evolve and develop a unique voice, despite the barriers they too have faced?

NAISA encourages artists to submit works for interactive sound installations and sound sculptures for indoor and outdoor contexts. NAISA also accepts works for fixed media audio or audio-visual works, performances, livestreaming and any emerging digital formats that include sound as a primary element. Preference is for works that are already completed.

The James Bailey Award (USD 300) — recognizes inventive radio/transmission art by Canadian artists. The Andra McCartney Mentorship Award (USD 300 + residency) — for emerging sound artists in Northern Ontario.

i. A short biography, contact information, and information about the piece in the following formats: (.doc, .txt, .rtf or .pdf). ii. 1 Audio file (.aiff or .wav format, 16bit or 24bit at 44,1kHz sampling rate) containing the stereo version of the piece. iii. Additionally, for multichannel pieces the audio files corresponding to each of the channels inside a separate folder along with set-up/routing information on a separate sheet iv.
