superstitions, able to enchant the listener and bring deep changes to
the reality, to the communities and territory, the voice as the

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.

2011 is the International Year of Chemistry! To celebrate Leonardo is
seeking to publish papers and artworks on the intersections of

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.
