microFOLIA CALL FOR COMPOSERS | CD MICROTONAL ELECTROACOUSTIC WORKS 1. DESCRIPTION The Núcleo Música Nova research group (UNESPAR/CNPq) invites composers to participate in the 2018 project « microFOLIA ». It is a project in partnership with SiMN 2018 (International Symposium of New Music) that will take place in September 2018 in the city of Curitiba (Brazil). « microFOLIA » involves the creation of new acousmatic electroacoustic works that explore elements of microtonality. The dissemination of the works will be done with CD release and sound diffusion in two concerts (pre-debut and CD release). The first concert will bring together all composers involved in the project for critical appreciation of works and debate on poetic issues and technical strategies of microtonality within electroacoustic music. The meeting will take place within SiMN 2018 edition and prior to the release of the CD. Upon completion of SiMN 2018, composers will be able to review their pieces before CD pressing. The idea of this project is to promote the potential of musical composition with different intervals from those of equal temperament. CD pressing is gently provided by the State University of Paraná (Brazil) (Call for projects 11/2016 PRPPG, ID 4144). 2. APPLICATION (APPENDIX #1) •There is no registration fee nor age / nationality restrictions; •Submit ‘Appendix 1' filled; •Send 2 recent electroacoustic works of your own portfolio that best describe your current artistic and technical development. It is not necessary that these works involve the use of microtonality. Note: the application process does not require sending the actual microtonal electroacoustic work for the CD, only previous musical works by the composer. It is understood that the work for « microFOLIA » will be commissioned only to selected composers; •The Artistic Committee will select composers based on their portfolio as well as on declared information about the commissioned microtonal work. In case any text interpretation dispute arises, the Portuguese version of the current call of proposals shall prevail. •Applications must be sent to contato@nucleomusicanova.com according to the deadline. 3. SELECTED COMPOSERS (APPENDIX 2, 3, and 4) Selected composers must follow these guidelines for project execution: •Works must be sent in WAVE or AIFF stereo format (standard CD: 44.1kHz - 16bits). •Maximum duration: 5 minutes. •Each work must use microtonal strategies in its musical structure. •For the concerts, there is the possibility of quadraphonic sound diffusion.
