Open Call 2016
In 2015 the Studio for Electroacoustic Music of the Akademie der Künste launched a new artist residency
program in the city of Berlin. The aim of this program is to encourage the development of inspiring ideas, new
initiatives and emerging talent in the fields of time-based / performing / digital arts dealing with sound, music
and technology.
We invite the application of individual and collective projects in any of the following categories:
• Original proposals from composers and performing artists leading to the creation of new works for instruments and live-electronics
• Acousmatic music, computer music and radioart as well as proposals in any other electroacoustic music and sound art pathways
• Original proposals from artists of all disciplines that embrace sound as key element of their artistic practice
• Curatorial, editorial and pedagogical projects concerned with the mediation of sound-based art practice, particularly those involving the assets of the Academy of the Arts
• Self-directed research projects in the fields of acoustics, engineering and musicology including but not restricted to software development, spatial audio, and network technologies
Candidates should have a record of original thinking and impact in their respective fields. Residencies of two
to four weeks are offered on a competitive basis to applicants of all ages and nationalities. The residency does
not include accommodation (in particular cases, upon request, a bursary may be provided to cover travel expenses and accommodation). Collaboration with existing programs and organizations is encouraged. Submission of proposals implies the acceptance of the terms and conditions of this call.
