Looks like a nice opportunity for those within budget airline distance of Belfast, I'm sure they'd welcome some live coding submissions (deadline next week, Weds 26th Jan).
This call strangely caused some consternation on another mailing list, about funding for artists, though it certainly avoids those conference pay to play situations!
Works best for solo artists in this case, since it seems the fee is per performance, not per person.
best,
Nick

> Call for Works
> The Sonorities Festival of Contemporary Music invites composers and artists working in new music to submit works to be presented during Sonorities 2011. The Festival will present four events showcasing works selected from an international call for participation. This event builds on Sonorities’ reputation for attracting high calibre composers and performers from all over the world to present exciting new music in Belfast. The concerts will be curated by composers in the School of Music and Sonic Arts and will focus on practices such as live-electronics, improvisation, multi-channel audio and audio-visual work amongst others. This year’s Festival will reflect current practices and trends with the aim of bringing to Belfast the best music for adventurous ears!
>
> We welcome works by composers/performers, improvisers, new media and sound artists.
>
> We encourage two types of submission (maximum 1 work per category):
> 1. Live Performances
> This includes laptop improv, VJ, audio-visual, live-electronics, sound poetry... Please submit the work in a documentary format that reflects the nature of the performance (e.g. audio recording, video, software, photographs).
>
> 2. Fixed Media
> This includes Stereo works for diffusion, multi-channel works and works with video.
>
> The Festival will take place in the Sonic Arts Research Centre’s Sonic Lab performance space. This unique environment for the performance of electroacoustic music includes facilities for sound projection in a full 3D environment through loudspeakers located above and below the audience area. The experimental nature of the space makes it essential that selected composers and artists attend the Festival to perform their work.
>
> The Festival will contribute towards the costs of participation with a sum of £350 per selected work/performance.
>
> Submission Guidelines:
> For fixed media work and audio recordings please submit through http://soundcloud.com/sonorities and include a short bio in the description field indicating full duration of the work and technical requirements. If you wish you can make your files private and only accessible by sonorities_at_gmail.com
