CALL FOR WORKS:
The first composition competition KLANG ! électroacoustique and

KLANG ! électroacoustique is a festival of electroacoustic music (fixed,

Schwarcz decided to focus on acousmatic music (works composed in the
studio, recorded on media and do not require any live sound source).
We invite composers to submit their pieces.
The competition will take place in two stages:
1. The jury listen all the pieces and pre-select 4 to 6 finalists.
2. Finalists‘ music will be played at the festival KLANG !
électroacoustique between the 5th and 7th of June 2014. The jury will
announce the final decision (1st and 2nd prize) at the end of the last

Jury members this year are: François Bayle , Francis Dhomont, Julien
Guillamat , Jonty Harrison, Denis Smalley, Etienne Schwarcz and Annette

The audio files will be named only by their title. They will be placed

(KLANG_Candidate_file.txt), completed by the composer. This process must
be respected to guarantee the anonymity of the applicant. Audio files
