It brings together the musical skills of the creators – clarinet, voice, live mixing – with the sounds of El Pollel – metallic materials, metal doors, far off church bells across the valley – to create a performance grounded in place. The piece is largely improvised.</div><div><br /></div><div>Bio (Ryan): Ryan Woods is currently a PhD student at the University of Manchester.

Humans, inhabiting this area since neolithic times appear in the piece as fragile presences, dominated by geological and tidal forces. Some human appearances are temporally ambiguous, the solitary walker who appears at the beginning and end of the piece or the human interactions with stones and pebbles. Others, such as the sounds of humans playing on the beach are clearly contemporary. Playing with this ideal of temporal heterogeneity sounds which have disappeared from the present reappear in the piece, such as the foghorn which last sounded in 1980 and the traces of radio static and morse code which refer to Marconi’s early radio transmissions from the end of Brean Down across the Bristol Channel to Wales.</div><div><br /></div><div>Bio: Irving Kinnersley holds a degree in English Literature and Religion from the University of London, a Master’s in Modern Literature from the University of Kent and an MMus in Creative Music Technology from Bath spa University.

The concept examines the impact of technology on representing ecological concerns. An imaginary forest acts as an ecosystem inhabited by entities whose presence is sensed through the movement of light and sound. These non-biological entities flash across the screen intertwining and reproducing with one another. It’s through an appliance of movement that allows us to comprehend their embodied existence in a spatial-temporal field. The piece amplifies our senses to raise awareness of how natural and artificial ecosystems can interact to bring about social change. The visual material consists of photographs, film and hand-drawn sketches all encoded to follow the properties of the sound material. The appliance of mapping and the use of experimental modelling is an important aspect in the artistic research of this algorithmic composition. The temporal in the invariant algorithmic design relies on continual relations rather than digital fixing. It is precisely this emphasis on the evolving relationship between parameters or their interactive feedback that characterizes the piece in terms of real-time adaptation, emergence and transformation. The parametric design allows the temporal dimension of space to become central through the formation of invariant topologies. Prediction is no longer based on finite probabilities, but rather on the inclusion of potential qualities. Thus, the piece offers a fresh insight into the formation of art to restore a continuity of experience in nature.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Mark Pilkington | Lamaload</b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Lamaload A/V is an audio-visual composition addressing the ecology of a rural setting. The presence of the Lamaload dam in the Peak District National Park, UK offers a unique audio-visual experience. Its unique architectural shape provides an acoustic screen that inadvertently magnifies and reflects the sounds of the surrounding area. The sound material consists of naturally occurring and found sounds recorded at different locations around the dam. A B-format ambisonic recording technique was used in order to retain a sense of the soundfield. The ambisonic recordings were decoded at the EMS studio in Stockholm (SE) into eight discrete channels conveying a spatial experience that physically and metaphorically relates to the specific environment. In Lamaload A/V (2017) photographic and graphic images of the dam and the surrounding area are directly animated by natural and human-made sounds. A custom-built program analyses eight discrete audio channels and visualizes them across eight corresponding screens. The result is a reconstruction of audio-visual spatial imaginings founded upon concepts that critically engage with the public in meaningful ways.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">The visuals were programmed using Processing at the Thought Universe electronic music studio, Manchester, 2017. Lamaload was composed during a composer-in-residency program at the NOVARS research centre at the university of Manchester 2015/16.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Mark Pilkington | Moiré</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Moiré is a fixed audio-visual composition that investigates perceptual correspondence between sound and image. The concept is based on encounters and exchanges between fictional characters within a milieu of audio-visual interference. Digital transformations portray memories, thoughts and feelings of social meaning projected in an audio-visual framework. Creating a living dynamic field that demonstrates how social information is captured and inverted in a continuum of self-expression.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">The original visual material consisted of computer coded graphics and film footage captured from VHS video tapes. This was animated to fit the sound by splitting it into fragments to produce a spatial temporal structure. The image materiality is spatially arranged in both the horizontal and vertical planes according to the spectral content of the sound material. Each component has been aligned to form temporal spatial trajectories to transform audio-visual space. Creating a phenomenological experience pertains to a metaphysical state of transcending the meaning of the original sourced material.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Filming directly in front of a TV screen infused the video images with a secondary layer of magnetic polar patterns to create a moiré field. A moiré field is a vibration that appears solid through the diffraction of light between two visible surfaces, it's the point at which light exceeds our ability to discern such fine slices of time.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Sounds were produced using analogue and digital synthesizers at NOVARS the University of Manchester, 2010.

A series of algorithmic behaviors are mapped using custom designed audio-visual processes. Numerical relationships are established to generate a visual composition that provides the basis of a complex interplay within the auditory level. The coexistence of human and machine interactions forms an ontogenetic structure that relies on continual relations between the user and technology. An ongoing structural change occurs from moment to moment, either triggered by interactions, or as a result of internal dynamics. The visual material consists of drawings representing sound transformations in space. Sound material is derived from instrumental, modular synthesisers and environmental sounds. Non-linearity plays a structural role in the temporal evolution of the invariant algorithmic design. It is precisely this emphasis on the evolving relationship between parameters and interactive feedback that characterizes the piece in terms of real-time adaptation, emergence and transformation.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Bio (Mark): Dr. Mark Iain Pilkington is a composer and performer of electroacoustic music.

In this sense, the performer is presented with both a physical acoustic guitar and a playable virtual guitar which ‘appears’ to be in front of them. This is made possible through using the Oculus Quest 2, the Unity game engine, Max 8, novel biometric sensors (Myo armbands) and open-access machine learning software (Wekinator).

The composition pairs video of the pure light of an actual sunset with ambient environmental audio textures. The soundtrack gently unfolds with sparse subtle gestural moments in both sound and video, but the primary theme is a sustained atmospheric texture. Any perceptible gestures are extended over a long duration focussing the eye and ear on the textural qualities of the video and sound (Smalley 1986). To complement the spatial qualities of the video, ambient sound materials are used, which have been time-stretched to enhance their drone-like qualities revealing their inner detail. Several 'frozen moments' of sound were created and arranged to produce movement and flow through the soundscape. Alongside these textures there are occasional flurries of sound to signal changes and variation.</div><div>Bio: Dave is an audio-visual artist who teaches and studies Electronic Music at Staffordshire University, teaching audio mastering, sound synthesis and Touchdesigner.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 12pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I create audiovisual works for performers, electronics and video, which challenge traditional notions of concert presentation and instrumental virtuosity. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 12pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My compositional process begins with a set of locations, a line on a map connected by a particular theme, history, or set of constraints. I capture moments, surprises, and ultimately, like prominent London-based psychogeographer Iain Sinclair, I offer a reading of my chosen locations, a divination made through an “act of ambulatory sign- making”. I excavate my locations, and the layers of myth and history that I uncover form my building blocks. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 12pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Having received a PhD in Electroacoustic Composition in 2011 from the University of Manchester, I have since shifted my practice in order to incorporate live performance. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My electroacoustic works have been performed at festivals and concert series around the world. These works have also received several awards and nominations, including: the HearSay Prize (Winner, Best Sound Category, 2015), Prix Palma Ars Acustica (Nominated by Radio Television Suisse, 2015), Concours Luc Ferrari (Winner, La Muse En Circuit, 2012), Prize Phonologia (Finalist, 2013), Metamorphoses (Finalist, Musique et Recherches, 2012), Competition Destellos (Nominated by Grand Jury, 2012), Joensuu Soundscape Composition Contest (Third Prize, 2011), 11th Musica Viva Composition Competition (Winner, First Prize, 2011). <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My first works for live performers, my <i>London Triptych</i>, are based upon the lives of William Blake (<i>Not one can pass away</i>, 2015), Austin Osman Spare (<i>Untitled Valley of Fear</i>, 2016) and Nicholas Hawksmoor (<i>The Great Inundation</i>, 2017), and were written for Distractfold Ensemble. <i>Not one can pass away </i>has received 16 performances by 5 different ensembles. <i>Untitled Valley of Fear </i>was premiered at Darmstadt in August 2016, and has also been performed at Café OTO and HCMF. <i>Untitled Valley of Fear </i>was nominated for a British Composer Award (Sound Art Category) in 2017. <i>The Great Inundation </i>was premiered at Cut & Splice 2017 and subsequently broadcast on BBC Radio 3. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In 2017, I participated in the Earle Brown Music Foundation International Summer Academy for Young Composers, one of 8 composers selected from 206 applicants, and the only successful applicant from the UK. The resulting piece, <i>The Lovers </i>(for string quintet, 2 object operators, performative electronics, tape and video), was premiered by Talea Ensemble as part of the Time Spans Festival in New York in August 2017. <i>The Lovers </i>was noted as being “impressive” and “chamber-orchestra pandemonium with accomplished video work” by the New York Times in their review of the festival. Brilliantly, and importantly, I was also described as “young”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Soon interactive digital imagery will flicker over furniture, walls, desks. Our hands will wave, our backs straighten, our days of sitting hunched over desks and phones will disappear. We will wear glasses and then contact lenses which transmit visual information directly to our retina. Tiny speakers will provide audio. Our clothes will provide power.<br /><br />In this talk, Dr Jessica Symons will share insight from her research as an anthropologist and work as Director of Visioning Lab, a creative digital studio making immersive content using augmented and virtual reality. She will invite the audience to imagine a world where we communicate without devices as intermediaries and instead tools for digital use are woven seamlessly into our daily lives.<br /><br /><b>Installation: Groups of People by Visioning Lab</b><br />This piece was shown at the Lightwaves Festival at Salford Quays, Manchester in North West England in 2019. Anthropologist Jessica Symons worked with artists Amber McCormack and Jacki Clark and visitors to the Immersive Lab at The Landing to make digital sketches in virtual reality inspired by L.S.Lowry.<br /><br />To see the 3D work, download the app from Google Play or the App store and open it. The app will open your camera. Hover the camera over the 'trigger images' here and watch them come to life!<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<b><span style="font-size: small;">Annie Mahtani</span></b> (UK, 1981) is an electroacoustic composer, sound artist and performer working and living in Birmingham (UK). She studied with Jonty Harrison at master’s and doctoral level at the University of Birmingham, completing her PhD in 2008.</div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 12px;">Her output encompasses electronic music composition from acousmatic music to free improvisation. As a collaborator, Annie Mahtani has worked extensively with dance and theatre, and on site-specific installations. With a strong interest in field recording, her work often explores the inherent sonic nature and identity of environmental sound, amplifying sonic characteristics that are not normally audible to the naked ear. Her music explores abstract and recognizable sound worlds and all the spaces in between. Annie works extensively with multichannel audio both in fixed medium works and in live performance.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 12px;">Her music has been recognized and performed extensively in concerts and festivals internationally and she was the recipient of a mention at the 35th Bourges international Electroacoustic Music and Sound Art Competition (France, 2008). She has received a number of notable commissions including those from Birmingham Contemporary Music Group, Jazzlines, Birmingham Repertory Theatre, Birmingham Hippodrome, and Rosie Kay Dance Company (for which she is the Company composer).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 12px;">Annie Mahtani is a Lecturer in Music at the University of Birmingham. She is co-director of SOUNDkitchen, a Birmingham-based collective of curators, producers and performers of live electronic music and sound art. She has been a member of a number of boards and panels and is currently a committee member for the British ElectroAcoustic Network (BEAN), and Chair of the British Section of the International Society for Contemporary Music (ISCM).</span><br />

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
OVERVIEW </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
RedASLA is the Latin-American Network for Sonic Arts, an organisation started in 1995 and aiming to disseminate worldwide sonic creativity and research from its members.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
From RedASLA’s viewpoint, Sonic Art amalgamates any artistic activity focused on sound as the means for creative expression, while providing technology with a primary role in the creative process.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
RedASLA embraces Sonic Arts from an open perspective, consciously aiming not to set boundaries or constraints on the variety and broadness of any sonic expression or aesthetic consideration from its members. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
This double album is the Vth and VIth published CD since the Network started.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
RedASLA OBJECTIVES</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
To incorporate new ideas and a diversity of working methodologies are among RedASLA’s primary objectives. More specifically RedASLA aims:</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
1) To consolidate spaces that foster collaboration and the exchange of ideas between artists who place sound at the centre of their methodology and creative thinking.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
2) to fostering and promote worldwide Sonic Arts created by its Latin-American members and to showcase work from other Latin-American artists.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
3) to establish institutional relationships and formal exchanges with other artistic associations with similar interests.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
4) to organise meeting, concerts, seminars, recordings, publications and any other activity related to Sonic Arts in Latin-America.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
5) to become a primary source of information for activities related to Sonic Arts on an international level and with particular reference to activities taking place in Latin-America.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
6) to serve as a support centre and institution for artists in need of assistance and backing infrastructure.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
CURATORIAL</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
The vast majority of pieces proposed for this cultural production can be divided into three types of works:</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
A first group of compositions that refer to everyday sounds and their sonic environment. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
A second type of pieces with a high level of sonic abstraction which apply highly processed electronics to sonic materials, making them unrecognisable; or which make use of electronic sounds that have no connection to the environment. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Finally, there is a third group of works that combine the sounds of the environment with electronic sounds to create an interplay between the sounds of an "everyday" world and those of a "fictitious" one.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
This last group shaped the curatorial line since it proposed a dialogue between the works carrying "everyday" sounds as opposed to the pieces that used a timbre palette far removed from the sounds of the environment. To explain it in another way, some works appeared to carry out a representation of "reality", while others projected their identity throughout the imaginary and the fictional.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Having said that, fiction is understood from the perspective of the first two groups. In the first one, "real" sounds project the author’s intentionality when constructing the sounds of its environment, while printing its subjectivity. On the other hand, "fiction" linked to electronic sounds can also be understood as a metamorphosis of the soundscape and it can even be seen as a representation of the unique imaginary of the artist.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
The third group of pieces submitted to this call for works seems to negotiate everyday sound worlds and imaginary ones, taking to the liminal the theme of representation and including sound images that mostly come from inner worlds.</div>

He has premiered a long list of important Spanish and other European composers, many of whom have dedicated their works to him. He has recorded for the Spanish Television (TVE), the Spanish National Broadcasting (RNE), Piccolo, Sello Autor, Verso, Plataforma LTW, Phonos and World Edition. His recordings as soloist include four CDs of music for solo flute as well as flute accompanied by electronics.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">After completing his superior level studies at the Real Conservatorio in Madrid, Julián then received a Masters degree in flute performance at Corvin University of Budapest where he worked with Istvan Matuz (who conceived of the the “Complex” system). Since then he has focused his work on new trends and ways in flute performance. Julián Elvira is principal flute in the Symphonic Band of Madrid and he combines his work there with research and a solo performance career, giving lectures and concerts on an international level. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">One of his most important projects, 3.1.Culturas, has brought him to travel and perform in countries such as Japan, Siria and India to study their culture and music, taking what he has learned about the timbral possibilities of flutes from these cultures into practice on his Pronomos flute.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">Edgard Varèse5-channel reconstruction of the music: Kees Tazelaar</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">In January of 1956, Louis Kalff, Philips’ director of artistic affairs, contacted Le Corbusier in Paris about the company’s plans for a Philips Pavilion at the Brussels World’s Fair in 1958. At that point, there was not yet any indication of the extremely avant-garde character that the project would eventually assume. Kalff wrote: “The interior of Le Corbusier’s Chapel at Ronchamp apparently has elements that would also be applicable in the Philips Pavilion. We want to present a synthesis of light and sound in a completely new and modern form. The walls must offer a continually changing panorama of light and color set to the rhythm of modern stereo music, such that at the end of the six- minute presentation visitors will have witnessed a more or less abstract testimonial that symbolically represents the genealogy of Philips and its products.”Once Le Corbusier became involved in the project, however, it would develop in a totally different direction. Le Corbusier, who originally had only been asked to take care of the interior of the Pavilion, in fact took over the entire artistic supervision from Kalff and even imposed all sorts of conditions of his own. He refused to collaborate with other artists and architects, assuming responsibility for the entire Pavilion himself, including its interior with the interplay of light and color and its sculptural form. For the music, however, he made an exception: the commission absolutely had to go to the New York-based composer Edgard Varèse.The music was reproduced on a three-track tape, the tracks of which could be heard coming from different clusters of loudspeakers in opposition to one another or resounding in flowing movements along specific routes. The total loudspeaker system comprised 325 speakers, supplemented by speakers for the bass tones. The automatic movements of the sound were registered on a 15-track control tape, which contained a total of 180 command channels.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">Richard Barrett is internationally active as both a composer and an improvising performer, and has collaborated with many leading performers in both fields, while developing works and ideas which increasingly leave behind the distinctions between them. His long-term collaborations include the electronic duo FURT which he formed with Paul Obermayer in 1986 (and its more recent octet version fORCH), the ELISION contemporary music group, for which he has composed and performed since 1990, and regular appearances with the Evan Parker Electro-Acoustic Ensemble since 2003. He studied composition principally with Peter Wiegold, was a professor of composition at Brunel University in London between 2006 and 2009, and has twice been a member of the staff of the Institute of Sonology, between 1996 and 2001 and again from 2009 to the present. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">Kees Tazelaar followed courses in Sonology in Utrecht and The Hague, and later studied composition under Jan Boerman at the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague. He has been teaching at the Institute of Sonology since 1993 and has been head of the institute since 2006. His electronic music features a combination of formalization, richness of sound and a compositional approach to sound spatialization. As well as a composer, Kees Tazelaar is a historian, who has specialized in the early years of electronic music in the Netherlands and Germany. He has twice been the Edgard Varèse Guest Professor at the Technische Universität Berlin, where he earned his PhD in 2013 with the dissertation On the Threshold of Beauty: Philips and the Origins of Electronic Music in the Netherlands 1925–1965 (ISBN 978-94-6208-065-2).</span></span><br />
