Call for entries
Deadline: 2 January 2010
PROCESS Festival Berlin is now accepting proposals for performances and
new-media work, to be shown at our 2 day festival in mid-March 2010.

The Festival seeks to highlight new and compelling work in the field of
generative or process music - focusing on sound pieces which are inspired by
or emulate algorithms, biology, or other defined systems.
From scores generated from nature (Mamoru Fujieda’s “Patterns of Plants”) or
mathematics (John Cage’s “Sonatas and Interludes”), to interactives which
allow users to create music (Brian Eno’s Bloom for iPhone) or a system as
simple as 2 tape recorders (”It’s Gonna Rain” by Steve Reich), this space
has enjoyed a compelling history.
As well as the traditional execution of code outputting music, we’re also
interested in projects which expand the definition or approach to this
field. This could, for example, including hardware-based projects like
custom instruments, more lo-fi, organic systems, or hybrids such as a string
quartet playing a generative score.
Web-based new-media projects will be shown onsite via a Macbook with
wireless connection, as well as linked via the festival website.
Performances should be between 20 and 40 minutes long, to allow a diverse
selection of pieces over the festival period.
We’re unable to offer artist compensation or provide travel costs to the
event, although composers outside of the Berlin area are encouraged to
partner with local artists to perform works. Please contact us if you’re
interested in this avenue.
Please e-mail us with your name, short bio, contact details, type of work
and a description of your project. Links to relevant imagery, sound, or
documentation (if available) are also helpful.
