AUSSCHREIBUNG – Joint ZKM IRCAM residency on spatial music

Subject: Joint ZKM IRCAM residency on spatial music

From: ludger brümmer

Artistic Research Residency Program 2017

Featuring IRCAM Residency & Joint ZKM / IRCAM Residency Tracks

The artistic research residency program is open to composers,

professional musicians, choreographers, stage directors, sound

designers, and students who wish to carry out their musical and artistic

research using IRCAM or its partners’ facilities and extensive research

environment. 
Upon nomination, each candidate will be granted a

residency in an associated laboratory during a specific period that will

range from three to six months long. During this period, candidates will

work in association with a team/project at IRCAM or with a partner (this

year will be marked by the first collaboration with ZKM | Institute for

Music & Acoustics), carry out the musical and scientific experimental

work associated with their proposed project, and participate in the

intellectual life of the institute.
 At the end of their stay,

candidates will be invited to share the results of their work with the

international musical research community in the form of documentation

and public presentations.

ZKM / IRCAM Joint Residency Track

The purpose of the Joint ZKM/IRCAM residency is to foster collaborations

between the two institutions around one or two artistic projects that

demand joining research, technical and artistic efforts between the two

entities.

Candidates applying to the Joint ZKM/IRCAM Residency Track should choose

the Special Track in their application. Submitted applications should

clearly demonstrate collaborative aspects with two institutions for the

project. The Work Plan of the proposal should also clearly demonstrate

the will to carry out the project in both locations (Paris/France for

IRCAM and Karlsruhe/Germany for ZKM) during the project life. Given the

bi-localized nature of this call, the minimum duration residency for

this call is 6 months. Final selection for this track is subject to a

joint evaluation of proposals by ZKM and IRCAM, based on relevancy,

quality and novelty of proposed projects.

Final laureates of Joint ZKM/IRCAM Residency Track can redeem travel

costs between laboratories once or twice during the residency, based on

the proposed project. Laureates are expected to spend at least half of

their residency period in each institution.

For this call, the Joint ZKM/IRCAM Residency Track program is

particularly interested in artistic residencies calling for innovative

employment of Wavefield Synthesis, Vector Based Amplitude Panning and

Ambisonics spatial sound diffusions. But proposals covering other themes

within the activities of both institutions are welcome.

ZKM is a cultural institution in Karlsruhe, Germany, that combines

production and research, exhibitions and events, among others, for the

development of interdisciplinary art projects. […]
