Opportunity: Speak Percussion's 2014 Emerging Artist Program
Speak Percussion's 2014 Emerging Artist Program focuses on
composition, improvisation and performance within electroacoustic
music. The program is open to Australian and NZ 18-28 year old
percussionists and drummers as well as emerging composers with a
pre-existing track record of working with percussion and/or
electronics.
Composers will develop and workshop two new electroacoustic
percussion pieces - one using conventional notation, the other
structured improvisation - under the guidance of the British
composer-improviser Richard Barrett and a team of mentors,
including members of the Spatial Informational Architecture
Laboratory from RMIT University, percussionist Peter Neville and
Speak's artistic director Eugene Ughetti.
The program will be organised in Melbourne on 14-25 July
(workshops, demonstrations, open rehearsals) and 15-20 December
(rehearsals, recordings, public performance).
Deadline for applications is 15 May 2014.
