Current commissions

The European Cities of Advanced Sound network (ECAS) is commissioning 2 works in 2012, within the project Networking Tomorrow’s Art For an Unknown Future:

Heimo Lattner’s “Silbadores”

Ben Frost and Richard Mosse’s “Project concerning eastern Congo” (work title)

These works relate to the current ECAS theme Networks of Advanced Sound and Related Arts – Bridging cultural sectors and different media, and enabling citizen innovation. This theme explores innovative ways to connect heterogeneous artistic and audience communities; possibilities to scale up without losing diversity; ways to bridge different spheres of experimental music production; the impact of advanced sound on other fields of artistic production; and how to expose marginal sounds to bigger audiences.

Each commission carries with it a fee of 5.000 € and realization costs of a maximum of 5.000€, and will be presented in 2012-2013 by the ECAS organizations involved in this call for entries, namely: CTM (Berlin), Musikprotokoll (Graz), Skanu Mezs (Riga) and Unsound (Krakow). There is also the possibility of presenting the works at other festivals within the ECAS/ICAS networks.
