ICMC-NYCEMF 2019 Call for Works

We have just learned that we have secured the participation of the New
York University New Music Ensemble, directed by Esther Lamneck, and the
Community Orchestra, directed by Roger Mahadeen, for ICMC-NYCEMF 2019.
This is not a professional orchestra, but it is a full orchestra of
30-40 musicians. These ensembles offer a unique opportunity for
composers to have works for ensembles performed. Composers who have
already made submissions may wish to reconsider their selections, and
there is still time to resubmit works. Also, NYCEMF allows you to
submit two works if one of them is six minutes or less. We are
repeating our call for works below, with these changes included.

ICMC-NYCEMF 2019 Conference and Festival
June 16-23, 2019

The International Computer Music Conference (ICMC) and the New York City
Electroacoustic Music Festival (NYCEMF) invite submissions of music,
papers, installations, panels and workshop proposals. The 2019 ICMC
will be a joint ICMC-NYCEMF conference and festival to be held Sunday
June 16 through Sunday June 23, 2019. The event will take place at New
York University and the Abrons Arts Center in the heart of New York
City. Details of the festival are shown below and are posted on our web
site, http://www.nycemf.org.

I. Music

Composers or performers are invited to submit works in any style of
electroacoustic music in any the following categories:

Electroacoustic music for fixed media alone, with up to 16 channels.
Works involving live electronics, including computer processing, laptop
orchestras, or live coding, with up to 8 channels.
Works combining musical instruments or voice with live or fixed media
electronics, with up to 8 channels.
Video and multimedia works with up to 8 channels

1. Individuals may submit one or two works. Individuals may also
submit proposals in other tracks (e.g installations, papers, etc). Works
of any length may be submitted, but, to be as inclusive as possible, we
are more likely to be able to include shorter works than longer ones. If
submitting two works, at least one work should be under 6 minutes long.

2. Works in progress are acceptable if a substantial part of the work
is complete. If accepted, the final version of the work (1) cannot
exceed the duration indicated at the time of submission and (2) cannot
be substantially different from the versions submitted.

3. Please upload high quality MP3 stereo mixes for your audio including
multichannel works. For video works, we strongly prefer lower resolution
files.

4. Composers may submit works for any instrumentation. However,
instruments and performers provided by ICMC-NYCEMF are limited to the
featured performers listed below in item 11. Please visit our web site
for the most up-to-date list of performer and instrument possibilities.

5. Performers (artists that are not the composer of the work) may also
submit up to two works with the agreement that they will play them if
selected.

6. A work is eligible if it has not been performed at either the NYCEMF
or ICMC for the last three years, or if it has been played at only one
of the two entities prior to 2019.

7. Works must be submitted online through the Conference Management
Toolkit (CMT).

8. All submissions should be anonymous. Please make sure that no
artist markings are recognizable.

9. The organizers will provide in each performance space a mixing
console, speaker system, microphones, cables, and a computer and audio
interface for the playback of fixed media audio/video. Composers of
interactive works will be responsible for providing their own computer,
audio interface, and any specialized peripherals.

11. The featured performers for NYCEMF 2019 will be saxophonist Enzo
Filippetti, cellist Madeleine Shapiro, pianists Keith Kirchoff and
Jocelyn Ho, clarinet and tarogató player Esther Lamneck, violinist Maja
Cerar, clarinetist Marianne Gythfeldt, percussionist Patti Cudd, the
SPLICE Ensemble, and soprano Elenora Claps. Other performers include
the New York University New Music Ensemble and Community Orchestra.

3D Spatialization Lab

A special room will be equipped with an array of 16 speakers, 8 in the
usual surround sound configuration and 8 at a higher level, allowing
sound to be spatialized in three dimensions. The audience will be seated
in the center of the space. We solicit works that will take advantage of
these resources, and we encourage works that use the full 16-channel
capability as well as the diffusion of works with fewer channels. We
will allow composers whose works are played in this space additional
tech time to plan their diffusion. Only fixed media works will be played
in this space, not works involving musical instruments or video.

Additionally, as part of this year’s theme, we will continue the
Soundscape Heritage program launched at the 2018 ICMC in Korea. More
details regarding our efforts will be forthcoming on the conference
website.
