prof_lofi Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 Hi Everyone,I want to extend a warm welcome to everyone who would like to attend an upcoming conference I'm organizing with urbanNovember this November. The conference is called SoundAsArt: Blurring of the Boundaries and will explores the various routes and trajectories leading into and relatively new field of art known as 'Sound Art'. For the purposes of our conference, this includes sound walks, installations, live electronic music, improvisation, acousmatic music and more.We've managed to book some of the world's finest artists, composers, academics, and musicians for the conference and over three days it will include talks, installations, soundwalks, and live performances by artists from India, Italy, Germany, France, Scotland, England, and the States. Our guest artists and performers include Keith Rowe of AMM, Rohan de Saram (formerly with the Arditti String Quartet), Rajesh Mehta (who often plays with Saram and studied with Anthony Braxton), Christina Kubisch (one of the very first Sound Artists), Jony Harrison (THE Acousmatic Composer of Britain), Nouritza Mattosiam (Xenakis's biographer...her presentation will include several pieces performed by Saram and an ensemble of 13), Giancarlo Toniutti (an underground cult sound artist from Italy), and many other artists from all over the world.The conference is November 24, 25, and 26, and is being held at the University of Aberdeen in the MacRoberts Building. AND.....IT'S.....FREE. Yep, we had to fight long and hard to accomplish this but we've managed to keep the entire event free for all who register in advance. And yes, seats of course are limited, so if you're interested in attending please register here:http://soundasart.urbannovember.org/We were able to accomplish this with generous support from Aberdeen City Council, the University of Aberdeen School of Education and College of Art and Social Sciences, and lots of hard work from urbanNovember.Please spread the word, and if there are any Aberdeen Uni students who read this, we're in high need for some volunteer help during the lead up and at the conference. Please send me an email if interested.thanks again and look forward to seeing you there,Billps...more information about the conference can be found here: http://soundasart.urbannovember.org/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RF Scott Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 Will be on tour, I'll add this to my angering list of things I've missed in Aberdeen. (see Kid Koala at the Tunnels). Will tell people about this though, it'd be a crime if it was poorly attended! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balvack Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 Hi Bill, this all sounds great.Is it possible just to come along to the performance sessions if other commitments get in the way ? If so, would we need to register or can we just turn up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, would we need to register or can we just turn up?Hi Balvack,The short answer is yes, that will be fine. The longer answer is that since you're still attending part of the conference it would be best to register so that we can keep track of our numbers (for funding etc). I'll check and see if we can adjust the registration page to reflect the 'only concert' crowd, but otherwise go ahead and register if that's ok. Also, I think we discussed asking for a donation at the door from non-conference attendees (so those not wearing a badge might be asked for 3 to 5 at the door) but no one will be turned away for lack of funds, so if you don't have the cash, still come!thanks,Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
