[microsound-announce] Call: Broken, Bent and Mutilated

[Kim Cascone]

Call: Broken, Bent and Mutilated

I'm curating and mixing a 20 minute program to be 'diffused' at the 
Storung Festival in Barcelona, Spain this spring.  The format of 
presentation is called 'diffusion', and is often used by acousmatic 
composers to present tape pieces but has also been adopted by many 
laptop musicians. Google will reveal more if you are interested in 
learning more about sound diffusion http://ow.ly/1s25bB

My goal is to assemble a twenty minute mix of broken, bent, mangled, 
destroyed, entropic circuits circling the drain, giving up the ghost, 
kicking the bucket, so forth and so on.
This mix will be diffused one evening of the festival.

Aesthetics:
===========
I'm looking for twisted, broken, bent , all of the above, works around 2 
- 3 minutes in length that have not been previously released.

Tags include: mangled field recordings, circuit bending, glitch, 
failure, entropica etc.

Think: HAL, from 2001. dumping a massive firehose of data to an immense 
RAID of hard drives on the verge of crashing and as the vast number of 
heads fuse with the plates it lets out it final death screams secretly 
siphoned off on to a stowaways portable data recorder.

Technical:
==========
The pieces must be delivered as stereo 24bit /44kHz wav files -- no mp3 
or flac for this please.

***Do not attach files to email. Use 'sendthisfile.com' or a similar web 
based file sharing service.***

The producer/composer of the selected titles will be contacted by email.

There is no budget or remuneration for inclusion but your name and 
website will be printed in the Storung Festival materials.


Feel free to contact me with questions or comments but please put

'Broken, Bent Mutilated ' in the email subject heading!

Deadline for submissions: March 15 2011
