Liebe Mitglieder,
da meine Kontaktversuche in der akademischen Welt zu nichts geführt haben, versuche ich es jetzt auf diese Weise:
GESUCHT: KI-PROGRAMMIERER*IN
Ein Voice-Bot soll darauf trainiert werden, Dialektmelodien nachzusummen.
Eine Audio-Datensammlung kann ich beschaffen, Melodieextraktion über Audio-to-Midi, Summen nur auf „m“ (keine weiteren Konsonanten, zusätzlich Dehnung, Stauchung, Sequenzierung. Erst mal nur elektro-akustisch, eventuell später Implementierung in physischen Robot. Die Resultate sollen zusammen mit menschlichen Klängen in eine Komposition eingehen.
Ich suche jemand, der/die auf Studenlohnbasis arbeitet oder mit mir zusammen einen Antrag für ein Stipendium stellen würde.

Herzliche Einladung
zum
Artist Talk mit Katalogpräsentation
BREATHING SPACE. CLARA OPPEL
Donnerstag, 16. Februar, 19 Uhr KULTUM [im Cubus]
Eintritt: frei
Anlässlich des kürzlich erschienen Kataloges Breathing Space – Clara Oppel im Verlag für moderne Kunst, unter anderen mit Texten von Florian Neuner, Friedrich W. Block, Sylvia Wendrock und Johannes Rauchenberger, spricht die Künstlerin Clara Oppel mit Johannes Rauchenberger über ihre künstlerische Arbeit und ihre Arbeitsweisen als Künstlerin zwischen den Schnittstellen von Raum, Klang, Installation und Skulptur.
Vor dem Artist Talk präsentiert die Künstlerin das Klangobjekt Sfumato, aus der Sammlung des KULTUMUSEUM.
Clara Oppels Arbeiten positionieren sich an den Schnittstellen von Klang, Raum, Installation und Skulptur. Sie setzt Klänge in Symbiose mit Bild und Raum und schafft daraus begehbare Raumskulpturen. Mittels Audioaufnahmen dringt sie tief in die Materie der Wahrnehmung ein. Sie sagt, es sei wie ein „Hineinzoomen“ mit dem Mikrofon, um einen Mikro-Organismus hörbar zu machen. Solche O-Töne schält sie heraus und modifiziert sie bis zur Unkenntlichkeit. Besonders widmet sie sich sowohl der Konstruktion von Bildelementen als auch den Bewegungen und Anordnungen von akustischen Signalen im Raum. Der Künstlerin geht es um Wechselwirkungen zwischen akustischer und visueller Wahrnehmung. Beides bestimmt den Raum. Aus sich heraus entsteht ein Spannungsfeld. Der materielose Klang bekommt eine körperliche Erscheinung und erzeugt mit den skulpturalen Elementen synästhetische Situationen. Hieraus formen sich die Raumskulpturen. Jede Arbeit weist auf intermodale Qualitäten hin, auf Situationen, die zugleich Bild und Klang sind. Das akustisch-skulpturale Innenleben der Objekte und Installationen führt uns auf Reisen im multimedialen Raum, in dem alle Situationen wechselseitig aufeinander wirken. Erst durch die gleichwertige Zusammenführung der auditiven, visuellen und räumlichen Komponenten führt das Gesamte zum gewünschten Ziel – der Klangskulptur.
Clara Oppel’s works are situated at the interfaces between sound, space, installation, and sculpture. She combines sound into a symbiosis with image and space, so as to create spatial sculptures which can be walked around in. By means of audio recordings, she penetrates deep into the materiality of perception. “It’s like zooming in,” she says, “but with the microphone, in order to make a microorganism audible.” Particles of original sound are extracted and modified to the point of becoming unrecognizable. She works in particular with the construction of visual elements, as well as with the movements and transformations of acoustic signals in space. The artist is concerned with the interactions between acoustic and visual perception. Both these factors determine the space in equal measure, and the give-and-take between them creates a field of dynamic tension. Immaterial sound acquires a physical appearance and, together with the sculptural elements, gives rise to synaesthetic situations. This formative interplay engenders the spatial sculptures.
Each work evinces intermodal qualities, situations which are at the same time both image and sound. The acoustic and sculptural inner life of the objects and installations takes us on journeys in multimedial space, where all situations have a reciprocal impact on each other. It is only through the amalgamation of these auditory, visual, and spatial components of equal value that the interrelated whole achieves the goal sought by the artist—the sound sculpture.

Betreff: Sonic Art Bar -> am 15.2.23 und am 29.3.23
Hallo liebe Freunde meiner Kunst-Projekte !
Es gibt was Neues, ich veranstalte eine Serie, die Sonic Art Bar.
Das Konzept ist: sich einfach zu treffen,
interessante Gespräche zu führen
und sich auszutauschen.
Gleichzeitig laufen Klänge im Hintergrund,
mal in stereo mal in quadro, aber immer unaufdringlich.
Ungefähr in der Mitte der Veranstaltung werden wir mit den Gesprächen pausieren
und uns konzentriert ein oder mehrere Werke zusammen anhören.
Dies dauert ca. 20 bis 40 Minuten.
Danch geht es wieder weiter mit Gesprächen und Austausch.
Wann?
Immer ein Mal im Monat an einem Mittwoch, immer von 18 bis 21 Uhr
Das erste Mal schon am 15.2.23
Das zweite Mal am 29.3.23
Wo?
Immer in der Galerie von Errant Sound in der Rungestr. 20 in 10179 Berlin
(Nähe S+U Jannowitzbrücke, oder U Heinrich-Heine-Str.)
p.s. wir haben inzwischen einen barrierefreien Zugang !

Matthias Ladleif: Eine Web-Applikation zur vereinfachten Nutzung der Spotify-API im Rahmen von Online-Fragebogenstudien
Die Masterarbeit stellt Konzeption, Entwicklung und Nutzung einer Open-Source Web-Applikation vor, welche die in der Forschungsliteratur intensiv diskutierten Probleme mit Selbstauskünften zum Musikkonsum im Rahmen standardisierter Befragungen adressiert. Die neue serverbasierte Forschungs-App erlaubt es Forschenden innerhalb einer Online-Befragung unkompliziert Daten über die von Befragten in der Vergangenheit gehörte Musik aus deren Spotify-Nutzeraccounts per API-Zugriff abzurufen und somit auf einfache Weise verlässlichere Daten über Musikhörverhalten und Musikpräferenzen der Hörer*innen zu erhalten als dies bisher möglich war. Die Arbeit stellt das entwickelte Forschungswerkzeug mit seinen Funktionen vor und diskutiert ethische, praktische und datenschutzrechtliche Herausforderungen von digitalen Musikdatenspenden. So deuten die Rücklaufquoten einer mit Spotivey realisierten Pilotstudie darauf hin, dass einige Befragte trotz oder gerade wegen transparenter Aufklärung persönliche Bedenken oder technische Probleme hatten, ihre Musiknutzungsdaten zu Forschungszwecken zu spenden. Abschließend wird auf Limitationen der entwickelten App und der Nutzung offener APIs kommerzieller Musikanbieter hingewiesen und ein Ausblick auf geplante Funktionen in zukünftigen Versionen von Spotivey gegeben.

Conceptual framework
Under the notion of dystopias (
Dystopien), the ensemble NAMES approaches musical meanings
of un-places or mis-places – as an antithesis to Thomas Morus’ notion of positive, likewise fictional
utopia. In the context of a three-part concert series in 2023, various artistic positions dealing with
dystopian sonorities and their heterotopias as “counter-placements or abutments, actually realized
utopias” (Foucault) will be presented and put up for discussion.
Composers and sound artists are invited to submit their works dealing with this complex
of themes or to develop new works.

Johannesburg/Cape Town, South Africa
November 24 – December 3, 2023
CALL FOR WORKS
https://www.newmusicsa.org.za/wnmd–call–for–works.html
We are pleased to announce the official Call for Works for the International Society for
Contemporary Music (ISCM) World New Music Days 2023. Members are invited to submit
scores/projects for the festival, scheduled to take place in South Africa from 24 November – 3
December, 2023. For further information about the details of this Call for Works,contact the
Festival Organizer by email via <wnmd2023sa@gmail.com>.
Submissions should be received via the relevant ISCM 2023 Submission Form no later than
11:59pm CET on 24 March, 2023. Late submissions will not be considered. The Submission
Forms will be made available, and the links advertised on the ISCM website, from early
February.
There are two ways for composers to submit scores for consideration:
1. If you are represented by a Member organization of the ISCM, your organization will
issue a Call and you may submit your score to them for potential inclusion in the Official
Submissions. Your Member organization will have their own deadline, prior to the
deadline of this International Call.
2. You may make an Individual Submission to the ISCM on your own behalf – see details
below.
OFFICIAL SUBMISSIONS
Submissions from ISCM Member organizations must be submitted by the organization via the
ISCM 2023 Official Submission Form. Please note, we can only consider submissions from
Members who are in good standing (Annual Report for the year of 2021 completed and annual
membership fee for 2022 paid). An official submission may not include a work by any composer
whose work was performed during the 2022 World New Music Days in New Zealand.
For Sections and Full Associate Members of the ISCM, the official submission will comprise six
works across at least four of the different Categories detailed in this Call for Works. For an
official submission from Member organizations to be eligible, each of the submitted works must
be eligible, the durations specified for each work must be accurate, and the submitted works
correctly aligned with the relevant category. Assuming the submission is eligible and the ISCM
member is in good standing, at least one of the submitted works will be presented during the
2023 ISCM World New Music Days.
For Affiliated Associate Members, an official submission will comprise up to three works. While
there is no guarantee that one of the works will be selected, the organizer will strive to include
them where possible.
INDIVIDUAL SUBMISSIONS
Individual Submission must be submitted by an independent composer or a composer’s
authorized representative. Submissions should be submitted via the ISCM 2023 Individual
Submission Form. An entry fee of €53.50 applies to Individual Submissions, payable at the time
of submission by Paypal using the link provided on the ISCM website.
Individual submissions are not guaranteed a performance. Space in the festival for Individual
Submissions is limited, but we will consider all submissions and perform those that can be
included. Please promote this information via your networks.
IN GENERAL
Priority will be given to works shorter than 10 minutes in duration and composed after 2013,
with highest priority given to works composed after 2018.
Only one work per composer may be submitted, either by Individual Submission or Official
Submission.
It is possible to submit works in any of the categories that include dance, either alongside the
music or performed by the musicians and/or singers themselves. While this might reduce
performance opportunities, the organizers will do their best to give such works equal
consideration with those that do not include dance. Other interdisciplinary works (i.e. including
theatre or visual arts) are also possible and should be submitted in the category corresponding to
their musical/instrumental necessities.
If you have questions about this Call, feel free to email the Festival Organizer via
<wnmd2023sa@gmail.com>
By submitting works to this Call, composers are agreeing that if their work is selected for
performance/presentation then they grant automatic permission for the ISCM
performance/presentation of their work to be recorded, broadcast, and streamed from the website
without additional financial liability to the ISCM or the Festival Organizers.
INFORMATION REQUIRED
Information required for each Work to be submitted is:
1. The composer’s personal and contact information: Given names; Family name; Name as
it should appear in the programme; Date of birth; Gender; full Mailing address; Phone

15. COLLABORATIONS WITH AFRICAN TRADITIONAL MUSICIANS: African musicians
usually do not read scores; it is possible to develop music and learn it by rote, but also to develop
new notation systems or in some cases use existing ones. Each such collaboration will require its
own approach and strategy for development. Please submit a written project description. If you
know (a) musician(s) you would like to collaborate with, let us know; if not, describeyour ideas
and we will try to match you with (a) collaborator(s). In order to rehearse and perform the music,
it may be necessary to attend the festival in South Africa and to arrive several days prior to the
festival’s opening. Smaller numbers of musicians will make projects easier to realize –duos or
trios are ideal. Possible African instruments can include, but are not limited to, lesiba,
sekhankula/mamokhorong, Southern African musical bows (uhadi, umrhubhe, umqangala,
xitende, etc.), guitar played using African techniques, timbila, Southern African marimba,
balafon, amadinda, endongo, djembé, kora, mbira, kalimba, drums from various Southern
African locations. Electronics and voice(s) can be included in these collaborations.
16. MARIMBA ORCHESTRA: Compositions for youth or professional ensembles consisting of
Southern African marimbas (n.b., this is not the Western concert marimba, but a single–row
instrument usually with „white notes“ plus the f#) of different sizes. Ensembles usually consist of
4 voices, soprano, tenor, baritone, bass, each played by multiple musicians. Please submit a score
or get in touch with the Festival Organizers to discuss instrument details.
*for works including percussion, it should be noted that, while instruments used in the standard
symphonic repertoire are available (timpani, snare drums, tom toms, marimba, vibraphone,
xylophone, glockenspiel, triangle, tubular bells, etc.), locating more unusual percussion
instruments might be challenging. In some cases, it may be necessary for the composer to
provide such instruments, either by sending them via courier or by attending the festival and
bringing the instrument. NewMusicSA will liaise with the composer should there be problems
locating necessary instruments. In addition to standard orchestral percussion, a wide variety of
African traditional percussion instruments is available, as well as Southern African marimbas,
which are neotraditional (not traditional!) instruments from Zimbabwe and South Africa that are
usually diatonic with „white notes“ plus the f#.
