Klingler ElectroAcoustic Residency

One composer will be selected each academic semester (fall and spring) to visit for two weeks to work on a composition and/or research project employing multi-channel spatialization (up to 10.2), first order Ambisonics, and/or controller-driven live performance.

All electroacoustic composers, researchers, and practitioners are welcome to apply.

  • Present two music technology course lectures – topics to be agreed upon with the course instructors. (75 minutes each)
  • Teach up to four 30-minute lessons to students composing electroacoustic pieces.
  • Present one informal lecture and demonstration on the project at the residency’s end. (75-90 minutes)
  • Other activities may include interviews (audio and/or video), photography sessions, and other press-related endeavors with BGSU Marketing and Communications, to be used by BGSU at its discretion for publicity and archival purposes.
  • Commitment to serve as a judge for one future KEAR scheme.

AWARD CRITERIA

  • Proposed projects should clearly and convincingly illustrate the necessity of working in the BGSUElectroacoustics MC/A facility.
  • Awarded composers must reside in Bowling Green and work on their proposed project for two weeks (14 days total.) Shorter durations will not be permitted. Longer periods may be possible but the resident must pay his/her own expenses after completing the sponsored 14-day residency.
  • In-progress projects may be completed during the residency period.
