CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

Sound and Space

It has often been said that the two greatest revolutions of music in
this century have been the increase of sound source and colour to the
musical vocabulary on the one hand and the treatment of space
(physical, virtual) on the other. The former subject is one of the
through lines of "Organised Sound". The subject of space will be the
focus for Volume 3 / Number 2 and will hopefully continue on as another
through line thereafter.

The development from monophonic to stereophonic to quadraphonic to
multi-channel sound reproduction represents one aspect of placing sound
in space. The use of specific sites for music-making and the creation
of sound installations represent two other areas of interest. Alvin
Lucier's work, "I am Sitting in a Room" lets the space sing for itself.
Some forms of contemporary popular music can only be played in vast
spaces.  The internet and its music represents no space at all. Still
these examples are just the tip of the iceberg as far as sound and
space developments are concerned, particularly regarding new
technologies.

What is spatial music? How does/should music behave in
three-dimentional space?  Is spatial location and movement a relevant
music parameter?

As always, any submission relating to other music and technology topics
are welcomed by the Editors. Musical compositions can also be submitted
for the annual Organised Sound CD.
