APPLICATION FOR TALK

During the three days of MAGNETICA an important space will be dedicated to dialogue and comparison between musicians. Candidates and candidates are invited to present a short intervention (of a duration of not more than 10’) on a research project or on their own electroacoustic work inherent in one of the three main themes of MAGNETICA: a) sound art and sound installations ; b) relationship between composition and improvisation; c) relationship between sound research, market and electronic communities

The interventions will be moderated by experienced people in the sector and will be informal. Participants will also be given the opportunity to project images and videos and listen to sound examples (exclusively stereophonic). Each participant must bring their own computer if required for their presentation; the connection to the video system will be HDMI and analog audio (minijack).

N.B. For the talks there is no compensation and no travel or accommodation expenses will be reimbursed.

APPLICATION FOR CONCERT

The three afternoons and the first two evenings of MAGNETICA will host concerts of electronic and acoustic music. You can propose with your application three types of contribution for a concert:

a) electro-acoustic work fixed on support (max. duration: 10’);

b) audiovisual work fixed on support (max. duration: 10’);

c) work of live electroacoustic music, possibly also with video and / or voice (max 12’ duration).

Each live project must involve a maximum of two performers and include at least one electronic performer; the live shows can be completely improvised, follow an original score or any intermediate mode. The concerts will take place at the Auditorium Centro Rogers in Scandicci.

Tempo Reale will take care of the technical set-ups and the direction of sound for the live works. A frontal dissemination system (for live and audiovisual works) and a multi-channel system (for works on support) will be set up. The detailed data sheet of the technical equipment will be provided to the selected artists. No backline can be provided (except supports, sessions, rods and the like).

• To apply for C and play in concert , we require the sending of the audio recording in .wav format (in the case of acoustic songs) or audiovisual in .mp4 format (in the case of live songs) of the electroacoustic work that you want to present live by attaching a brief description, specifying the type of work (see above).

• Registration must be sent exclusively in the form of a private link and not as an attached file.
• N.B. For acoustic and live concerts, the minimum cachet provided by the reference CCNL (equal to 73 euros gross) is provided, including the relative contribution payments INPS / Ex Enpals charged to Real Time. There are no refunds for travel or accommodation expenses.

• The selection of the participants will be carried out in an unquestionable way by the artistic-scientific committee of MAGNETICA on the basis of the documentation submitted, possibly supplemented by further documentation and / or interviews as needed.
