1-3 August, 2002:
Conference: "Beyond Noise - Acoustic, Technical and Metaphorical
Aspects of Noise in Music and Visual Arts"
Call for Works and Papers
The concept of noise has played an important role in the recent
decades both in the creation of and reflection on music. In the
mid-eighties it appeared as the name for a new genre of electronic
music, while at the same time it appeared on the title of an
influential book by Jacques Attali ("Bruits: essai sur l'economie
politique de la musique", 1977, English translation: "Noise: The
Political Economy of Music", 1985). As a result of these and other
discourses, noise became closely associated with radical aesthetics,
interaction (human-human, human-machine and machine-machine),
indeterminacy, and system dynamics. The conference and festival will
address the concept of noise in time-based media arts (music, media
art, film) jointly in its sociopolitical, aesthetic and technical
dimensions and will examine its role in the future of music-making
and in the emerging fusion of visual with auditory dimensions in
art.
Composers, ethnomusicologists, media and culture theorists and
psychoacoustics experts are invited to discuss ways of reaching
beyond noise conceptually technically, and stylistically. The word
"beyond" is understood in all its implications. That is:
transcending or leaving current notions or ways of dealing with
noise behind, building on or developing them further, but also
exploring the laws underlying the synthesis and perception of noise,
interaction and indeterminacy and finally the role of noise in both
electronic and acoustic musics from diverse cultures. Areas for
submission of abstracts and works are:
Noise in electronic and acoustic music
Noise in interactive digital arts, installations and human/machine
interaction
Visual noise, noise in cinema and video, noise and atmosphere, noise
and repression
Semiotic dimensions of noise
Noise and timbre: Synthesis techniques
Noise as timbre: Perceptual issues and principles
Noise and interfaces: Indeterminacy and control factors in
interfaces for computer music performance
Noise and Interaction: Indeterminacy and feedback in improvised
computer music
Noise as stylistic or compositional element
Noise and "anti-noise": "Signal to noise" ratio, noise (or chaos)
vs. order, low-frequency and low-amplitude noise, noise and silence.
Submissions: Papers: Abstracts of up to 400 words should be
submitted in plain text per email to [email protected] by
July 1st. Works: Work submissions should include a brief description
(1 to 4 pages) and a recording of the work itself on CD, ADAT, DVD
or NTSC format Video.
Registration fees for the conference: $80 (non-student), $50 (student)
Please pay by check or money order to: UC Regents.

Alex,
can you post this. I keep getting bounced probably because I am listed under
2 e-mails:
a) [email protected] (which should be removed even though its my
official e-mail)
b) as I usually write to you from [email protected]
If you can work this out, then I wont need to bother you anymore with
bounced postings.
