SCREAM

The Southern California Resource for Electro-Acoustic Music (SCREAM) is sending out a call for composition submissions for this year’s edition of their annual festival, SCREAM 2008.

SCREAM 2008 will be based around the theme of combined works for piano and electroacoustic works, allowing for various performance techniques, approaches and visual elements. One select piece from the entries will be awarded a prize of $500 and receive a performance from the hands of well respected Pianist Vicki Ray.

Despite the diverse forms the winning composition may take on, one thing’s for sure: Since all submissions must be new and previously unperformed, the concert, which will take place at Walt Disney Concert Hall complex in Los Angeles (pictured) in late 2008, will be a world premiere.

Here are the guidelines for submissions at SCREAM 2008: Read more…
