Seeing Sound Symposium - OPEN FOR SUBMISSIONS

Seeing Sound 3 is now open for submissions - call for works, and papers and in particular live performance works. DEADLINE for submissions is 27th SEPTEMBER. Symposium takes place on 23/24 November, 2013 at Bath Spa University.

Practice-Led Research Symposium, Bath Spa University

"Seeing Sound is an informal practice-led symposium exploring multimedia work which foregrounds the relationship between sound and image."

"It explores areas such as visual music, abstract cinema, experimental animation, audiovisual performance and installation practice through paper sessions, screenings, performances and installations."

"This year’s event will have a focus on live performance, but as in previous years, Seeing Sound will also be open to works which fall outside of this focus but within the broader remit of the Seeing Sound series. Submissions should be sited in areas of (audio)visual music, videomusic and other areas of sound-led multimedia practice, and may take the form of papers (theoretical, historical or practice-led), fixed media works, performance or installation works."
"The website for this year's event is up, with initial information on the event - a highlight is a collaboration between computer animation pioneer Larry Cuba and choreographer Yolande Yorke-Edgell. Larry will be attending the symposium and will give an hour-long presentation on his work (from his own experimental works to his seminal work on the original Star Wars movie) and his collaboration with Yorke-Edgell."

"The 2013 website is now up, with initial information on the symposium. More will be added incrementally in the lead up to the event."

Contact - Augmented Acoustics

Felix Faire (UK), a Parametric System Designer had designed some very interesting interactive installations. One of these, Contact is an interface with which to manipulate and visualize sounds. Beautiful results. View Contact: Augmented Acoustics CONTACT: Augmented Acoustics from Felix Faire on Vimeo . "CONTACT is a tangible audio interface to manipulate and visualize sounds generated from interaction with a simple wooden surface. Any physical contact with the table generates acoustic vibrations which are manipulated and visualized LIVE as they occur using several communicating pieces of software. All code will be opensource and available on github.

D.D. Jameson - Colour Music (1844)

D.D. Jameson devised a systematic approach to create a colour music score for a specially adapted piano. His scores took the information from a piano music score and applied it to a sound-music colour scheme and translated it into a colour score. The colour score communicated the musical information - such as notes, rhythm, durations. His score was to link to a special adaptation of a piano music instrument that would have the keys prepared with the relevant colours. The musician could then play the piano by following the colour music score. Not only were the piano keys to be coloured according to his colour to tone analogy system but the score was to also communicate other aspects of the musicianship such as: the intervals of the music, the notes and their octaves, by mapping the height of the colour to the octave of the note and the width of the colour to the duration of the note. "A pianoforte having been prepared in the manner described, any air may be slo...
