symbol), the voice as a pivotal element of rituals, customs and  
superstitions, able to enchant the listener and bring deep changes to  
the reality, to the communities and territory, the voice as the  
protagonist of memories, myths, archetypes, folk wisdom handed down  
through the centuries, or even the voice of everyday, tool for work

Non-Cochlear Sound Art

Diapason will be working with sound artist and author Seth Kim-Cohen  
to present an exhibition of „Non-Cochlear Sound“, as formulated in Kim-
Cohen’s book „In the Blink of an Ear: Toward a Non-Cochlear Sonic  
Art“ (Continuum). The exhibition is scheduled for October, 2010. Non-
Cochlear Sound describes a form of sonic practice not primarily  
concerned with the ear. Marcel Duchamp’s famous call for a non-retinal  
visual art was answered (eventually) by minimalism, conceptual art,  
social-based practice, and a host of approaches that appeal not to the  
eye, but to other concerns. In his new book, In The Blink Of An Ear:  
Toward a Non-Cochlear Sonic Art, artist and theorist Seth Kim-Cohen  
asks why sound has been slower to make the conceptual, linguistic, and  
social turns. As a way of responding to this question and of  
“redressing” this perhaps unfortunate sonic situation, we seek sound  
work that engages any or all of the following: sociality,  
conceptualism, politics, textuality, discursivity, subjectivity,  
history, economics, or philosophy.

CINESONIKA: The First International Film and Video Festival of  
Innovative Sound Design

The theme of this international film and video festival is to  
celebrate the soundtrack. Usually in cinema festivals there is a  
fixation on movie stars, or captivating imagery, or the literary  
qualities of screenplays, or the abstract concepts of film theory.  
Sound tends to be relatively unvalorized in moving-image making. The  
intent of the festival is to give attention to innovative work in the  
creation of film and video soundtracks, and to give due credit to the  
importance of audio in audiovisual media. This first annual festival  
will showcase international works of film and video with fascinating  
soundtracks, idiosyncratic sound design, eclectic scoring and  
innovative approaches to the sound-image relationship.

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.

Tangible, Embedded and Embodied Interaction (TEI) Conference

We are pleased to announce that the 5th edition of the successful  
Tangible, Embedded and Embodied Interaction (TEI) Conference series  
will be held in between 23rd and 26th January 2011. We invite  
submissions of prototypes and daring ideas, tools and technologies,  
methods and models, as well as interactive art, interaction design,  
and user experience that contribute new understandings to the broad  
area of tangible computing, embodied interaction, interactive  
surfaces, and embedded interactive systems. Papers will be published  
in the ACM digital library. In recent years, computing has  
progressively moved beyond the desktop into new physical and social  
contexts. As physical artifacts gain new computational behaviors, they  
become reprogrammable, customizable, repurposable, and interoperable  
in rich ecologies and diverse contexts. They also become more complex,  
and require intense design effort in order to be functional, usable,  
and enjoyable.

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.
