SUMMARY:First International UPISketch Competition
DESCRIPTION:Some fifty years ago\, Iannis Xenakis and his team at the CEMAMu (Centre d’Études de Mathématique et Automatique Musicales) invented the UPIC\, a computer tool for composing music with the help of drawing. Anyone\, with or without a musical background\, could compose using this very large digitizing table and its associated system. \nThe CIX decided to pursue this initial goal of opening up creativity to all audiences and has developed a new application/software called UPISketch (see here for free download). \nXenakis’s centenary is the perfect occasion for us to launch this first UPISketch International Competition\, with a total amount of 5000 € in prizes. \nGENERAL CONDITIONS \nThe competition is open to all nationalities and all ages. \nThe amateur category is reserved for non-professional musicians. \nCATEGORIES \n\nA : Amateur – UPISketch solo\nB : Professional – UPISketch solo\nC : Professional – UPISketch and mixed techniques\n\nA & B (“UPISketch Solo”): All of the material should be generated by UPISketch\, be from one or several projects using the app. However\, the final product can be edited in a digital audio workstation (DAW) and processed through reverberation and/or filtering end and/or dynamics. \nC: “UPISketch & Mixed Techniques”: The large majority of the sound material (in terms of content and duration) of the submitted work must be generated by UPISketch. It can be processed by any means. The final product could use other sources as well\, but one must be able to retrace the UPISketch material by comparing the provided UPISketch-exported sounds with the piece itself. \nNota Bene: a VST-host version of UPISketch is in the making. With this version\, any plugin will be usable for the current competition\, as long as it is installed in UPISketch itself. \nB & C: It is mandatory to provide the screen shots and exported sounds from the original UPISketch projects that were used\, along with the piece. Also\, spatialization can be added to expand stereo setups. In such cases\, please send us a multi-track audio file. \nOnly one work per applicant may be submitted. \nCollective works by more than one composer will be considered one submission. If a collective work is submitted\, none of the composers participating at the collective is allowed to submit an individual work. \nSCHEDULE \n\nOpening of submissions: March 8\, 2022\nDeadline: July 31\, 2022\nPublication of Results: September 15\, 2022\n\nA distinguished international jury will anonymously review all submissions. The jury’s decisions will be final. Names of the jury members will be posted at the same time as the results on our website and related social media. \nNo member of the jury may participate in the Competition. In addition to the three prizes in each category the jury has the right to award Honorary Mentions for works they consider of high artistic value. \nConcerts including awarded works will take place between September 28 and the end of 2022\, in France\, Greece\, and Japan (and perhaps elsewhere). \nDURATION \nThe duration of submitted work should be more than 3 minutes\, and preferably less than 20 minutes. \nSUBMISSION \nSubmission is free of charge and will consist of the following files/links emailed to upisketch@meta-xenakis.org: \n• your piece (audio file\, stereo or multitrack)\n• associated UPISketch screen captures and exported audio files from UPISketch projects (for Categories B & C)\n• rider containing diffusion setup\, technical requirements\, images\, program notes\, etc.\n• the completed and signed registration form \nPRIZES \nThree prizes will be given for each category: \n1st Prize 2nd Prize 3rd Prize \nA 500€ 300€ 200€ \nB 1000€ 600€ 400€ \nC 1000€ 600€ 400€ \nNota Bene: you are free to use any available version of UPISketch\, but please note that the main platforms for the upcoming updates and version will be OSX and Windows. \nTo be informed when any new versions are released\, please check for updates on the CIX website and on our Facebook page. \nVideo tutorials are available in the application itself\, or online at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvYFZ0B8tIk-1ch53Cb2LMTAA3Uoc6z1Y

SUMMARY:LAST DAYS! Call for testimonies/tributes: In memoriam Joel Chadabe
DESCRIPTION:Joel Chadabe (1938-2021) was not only a pioneer in electronic music in his own right\, he was a major champion of others’ music as well\, with an inimitable entrepreneurial spirit. \n\n  \n\n\nPhoto: Carlo Carnevali (courtesy of the estate of Joel Chadabe) \nJoel was a close friend of Iannis Xenakis\, the two having first met in Berlin in 1964 as Ford Foundation Fellows\, and they always remained close. In 1997\, Joel released\, on his EMF (Electronic Music Foundation) label\, the first CD of Xenakis’s electronic music\, which became the best-selling disc in his catalogue. More recently\, Joel’s e-publishing company Intelligent Arts entered into an agreement with Xenakis’s historic publisher Pendragon Press to release updated e-versions of the Xenakis Series in print copy (ongoing). \nIn fact\, thanks to Joel’s tireless promotion\, through his programming of concerts and other events\, including after Xenakis’s death\, Xenakis’s reputation flourished\, especially in North America. Even on his own website\, Joel dedicated a whole chapter to Xenakis\, including several citations of personal conversations between the two: https://joelchadabe.net/xenakis/ \nJoel was also a founding member of the Xenakis Project of the Americas (XPA). \nAn Open Call for Testimonials and/or Tributes to Joel Chadabe\nTo honor Joel’s contributions\, XPA\, as a partner in the Meta—Xenakis consortium\, will dedicate a special session during its leg of the marathon Symposium (September 30\, 2022\, between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. at the CUNY Graduate Center\, 365 Fifth Avenue\, New York City) to him. \nTherefore\, we are making an international Open Call for testimonials and/or tributes to Joel Chadabe. These can be photos\, videos\, recordings\, an improvisation\, a poem\, etc. honoring and remembering the man and musician who has touched so many of us. Because of our anticipation of a worldwide response\, we kindly request that each submission be under 3 minutes. Depending on the various media we will collect\, we will determine the most appropriate way of presenting this compilation/montage both in New York and on our website. \nDEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS: June 1\, 2022\nPlease submit to: joeltribute@meta-xenakis.org

SUMMARY:Canada: Polytope XXI - Tribute to Iannis Xenakis
DESCRIPTION:Polytope XXI is a concert in homage to Iannis Xenakis (1922-2001)\, architect\, engineer and composer\, whose works for percussion are landmarks of 20th Century repertoire. It is also the name that composers Myriam Boucher and Dominic Thibault have given to their monumental instrumental project: a sort of giant\, electronically augmented\, audio-luminescent harp\, whose strings will be struck by the percussionists of Sixtrum. Architect Stéphanie Castonguay and her collaborator Éric Deschênes (In Situ) will design the structure of the instrument\, that will be equipped with various sensors to capture and amplify vibrations\, and to control the integrated light and video system. \nThis project finds its inspiration in the first Polytope imagined by Iannis Xenakis\, an ‘electronic sculpture combining light\, music and structure’\, that was presented inside the French Pavilion during Expo67 – the Universal and International Exhibition that took place in Montreal in 1967. This installation formed a gigantic web of cables suspended in the central space of the pavilion\, each cable bearing a multitude of flashing lights that were synchronized with a musical tape – creating an artistic work inscribed in space and made of multiple layers of sound and light. This project was rooted in a scientific\, architectural\, and musical vision: a unique integration of science and art. \nThe second part of the program will be dedicated to the monumental work Pleiades\, for 6 percussionists\, that was on the repertoire of the very first concert of Sixtrum\, and that will close the 15th season of the Montreal ensemble. \nAcknowledgments : CIRMMT – Agile Seed Funding
