from the works received for the Métamorphoses competition. The jury  
reserves the right to decide whether this work will be included on the

Organised Sound
Denis Smalley: his influence on the theory and practice of  
electroacoustic music. Denis Smalley is one of Britain’s foremost  
exponents of acousmatic music, and a voice of international influence  
in both music and words. In marking his 65th year (2011), this issue  
aims to re-evaluate and extend the ideas and issues raised Denis  
Smalley’s music and writings, to develop their connections with the  
work of others, and the UK. It will focus especially, but not  
exclusively, on theoretical writings such as ‘Spectromorphology and  
Structuring Processes’ (1986), ‘Defining Timbre – Refining  
Timbre’ (1994), ‘Space-Form and the Acousmatic Image’ (2007), and on  
the influence of Smalley’s musical output. New analyses will be  
welcomed, especially those which seek to apply or evaluate Smalley’s  
theoretical ideas through analysis of his music or that of other  
composers or the development of future analytical tools. Naturally,  
there will be a focus on acousmatic music, although music with live  
instruments will not be excluded since it also features in Smalley’s  
output.

Leonardo Journal: Nanotechnology, Nanoscale Science and Art
2011 is the International Year of Chemistry! To celebrate Leonardo is  
seeking to publish papers and artworks on the intersections of  
chemistry, nanotechnology and art for our on-going special section on  
nanotechnology and the arts. Since its inception nanotech/science has  
been intimately connected to chemistry; fullerenes, nanoputians,  
molecular machines, nano-inorganics and self-assembling molecular  
systems all spring from the minds and labs of chemists, biochemists  
and chemical engineers. If you’re a
nano-oriented chemist who is serious about art, an artist working on  
the molecular level, or a chemical educator exploring the mysteries of  
nano through the arts we are especially seeking submissions from you.

Organised Sound: An International Journal of Music and Technology
The distinctions between a performer, an instrument, and an  
environment seem at first glance self evident, but plenty of evidence  
exists that the relationships between them can be complex and dynamic.  
A musical instrument is not, or at least not only, a physical object,  
but has properties which emerge through use or expectation  
(programming). A systemic understanding of performance activity might  
usefully enhance our understanding of the interpenetrations and  
feedback systems which exist between apparently disparate component  
parts. As we move into a musical world where we can intervene  
digitally in the performance ecosystem we open up possibilities for  
new formulations of and relationships between the ‘components’,  
whether by accessing ‘distant’ or virtual audiences/environments, or  
by combining physical and virtual elements in an unforeseen manner.
Music has always drawn on other disciplines and ways of modelling the  
world for metaphors which expand its resources both sonically, as  
organised sound, and socially, as human activity. This issue of  
Organised Sound invites submissions from both theorists and  
practitioners for whom ecosystemic or biological models form a  
provocative or productive point of departure for any aspect of their  
work.

WORKSHOPS
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Lecture and Workshop Series: Living Circuits by Phillip Stearns
Current VanLier resident Phillip Stearns offers a 5-part educational  
lecture/workshop series on basic electronics and networked sciences.  
Lectures will be held on evenings during the week free of charge and  
be accompanied by an optional hands-on ticketed workshop held on the  
weekend following. The goal of the lectures is to provide a background  
and context to the contemporary use of electronics, computing, and  
biology in the development of neural networks. Each lecture will  
contain a historical overview of a key topic accompanied by  
demonstrations and animations. The optional workshops will focus on  
applying the information and knowledge presented in the lecture  
through hands on-projects led through slide-show, animation, and  
direct instruction.
