The Netaudio London festival promotes the work of artists who use digital and network technologies to explore new boundaries in music and sonic art.
It is spread across two venues in Camden: the Roundhouse by day, and KOKO by night.
The packed and varied day time programme inspires participation in all forms: interactive sound art installations, conferences, workshops, collaborative online broadcasting and live showcases.
The evening programme presents performances by Nurse With Wound, Mika Vanio (ex-Pan-Sonic) & Bruce Gilbert (ex-WIRE), and Radian.
This call for entries encourages you to submit work for inclusion in different strands of the festival.
Strands
We welcome submissions for 3 distinct areas of the programme:
- Sonic Maze – sound art exhibition
- Open Platform – new talent music stage
- Netaudio Online – broadcasting
All scheduled to take place between 1pm – 6pm at the Roundhouse on Sunday 15th of May 2011. All strands will run simultaneously with the conference.
The call for entries is open from 14th February to 11th March 2011.
Sonic Maze
The Sonic Maze is a sound art exhibition located in the Roundhouse Studios, where Netaudio will present a selection of interactive audio-visual installations for visitors to explore. The Sonic Maze is programmed via this open call along with the curatorial input from Martin Bricelj Baraga, Director of MoTA – Museum of Transitory Art and Slovenia’s leading sound & transitory art festival Sonica.
The layout of the maze is a long corridor with a number of small studio spaces off to either side. Each studio space is approx 2.5m by 3.5m and soundproofed and without windows. It can be equipped with speakers, screens, computers, mixing desk or anything you can think of.
Although we will consider any audio or visual based work, we will favour work that engages with collaborative practice, encourages user interaction and/or explores the issue of emerging/reapproriated technologies.
Both remote submissions as works which require your presence to set up/man/operate, will be accepted.
Open Platform
The Netaudio Open Platform will take place in Torquil’s Bar, located in the upstairs foyer of the Roundhouse, featuring emerging musicians throughout the afternoon. The stage is hosted by Tony Nwachukwu former member of Attica Blues and producer of the long running CDR club night at Plastic People. The Open Platform will be programmed by the Netaudio community which will vote on submissions received through this call, the voting is facilitated via a customised SoundCloud service.
We are happy to consider music of any genre for this stage, as long as it’s yours!
As part of this call we also offer an extensive artist mentor programme to 4 acts. This includes professional advice on your music, on how you can find audiences and how to make the best with available digital tools. Please indicated in the submission form if you would like to be consider for this.
Netaudio Online
Netaudio Online is an interactive, live broadcast from the Roundhouse Studios. Using the format of a live webzine, we will explore the future of broadcasting with a series of TV and radio features in partnership with Resonance104.4fm. Netaudio Online also offers live cuts of the conference and features webinars and dedicated interactive workshops for our online audience.
We will consider pre-recorded or generative sonic/radio art pieces and self contained digital audio visual art that can be broadcast via the Roundhouse Radio (A/V streaming platform) and partner websites to accompany the live webzine. Maximum lenght for all material is 10mins.
