Futura 2010 Call for works
Oct 9th 2009
For its 2010 edition, the Futura festival is looking for fixed media works (acousmatic music, musique concrète, video art, hörspiel, etc.) around the ‘travel diary’ thematic.
The sent works may be ‘real’ diaries, elaborated with sound takes and/or recognizable images, but these diaries may also be ‘abstract’, without any identifiable sounds, concentrating only on remaining traces, impressions. The works evolving between these two poles are also, indeed, welcome.
It is all about drawing a large and original view of the ‘travel diary’, which is not only a journey in a geographical space, but rather the expression of an experience or a view on the surrounding world. As such, it is not absolutely necessary to have crossed back and forth the whole planet to submit a proposal, obviously travels are also metaphoric. It can be expressed through very diverse aesthetics and forms.
Nonetheless, we are not looking for ‘raw’, ‘objective’ soundscapes or field-recordings. To the contrary, we would like to program subjective works, and place at the centre of this thematic the perception of the traveller-composer-artist.
The submissions:
- The limited number of submissions is 2 works by composer, excepting works with video which amount is not limited.
- Only sonic works on tape medium should be submitted (acousmatic/concrète, radiophonic art…).
Please do not send proposals for live electronics or performances.
- Preference is given to stereophonic music (multiphonic works may be accepted, but always if a stereo mix is provided for the selection process).
- Works including video are also encouraged.
-Deadline for the reception of works on CD Audio only (no cd-r or DVD-Audio) or DVD (for videos) is fixed before January 31 2010 (post-marked).
At the following address: Futura, 62, avenue de Flandre F-75019 Paris, France.
- Fill necessarily the form you’ll find as an attachment and send it by email: info@festivalfutura.fr
- Also send by email a program note about the submitted work (20 lines max), a short biography and a picture (.tiff or .jpg) to info@festivalfutura.fr

16.08.09 framework
Aug 20th 2009
well folks, we are finally back in the studio after a long, long time away – i hope you enjoyed your chance to hear so many of the framework:focus programs again during our summer repeat schedule, but i hope as well that you’re as pleased as we are to be back with these piles of new material. this week we started the long task of getting through them – in fact we didn’t even quite catch up with what was waiting to be played before we left! we framed our show with a fantastic new piece (in fact a work-in-progress, he informs us) by chris watson – a stereo mix-down of a quadruple hydrophone array recording the surf in tortuga bay on the galapagos islands. from within this bay we sampled sounds frommeri von kleinsmid, joe colley, jim hoult and a glorious project from a few years back by doug haire - nineteen american waysides features location recordings of america’s lost highways, in which are installed bizarre distant manipulations of old 78 rpm records, wafting by in the distance, amongst the rumble of traffic or insects. this really is a beautiful example of themed phonography – check it out!
we also featured a framework intro recorded during our travels by estonian ceramic and installation artist mariliin kindsiko – now, there were many more of you we met out there who promised intros, don’t think we’ve forgotten! we’ll be looking out for them in the post soon…
mariliin kindsiko / framework intro
recorded in an estonian forest while mushroom picking in a light rain
doug haire / tarkio, mt 3:30am/sumatra, mt 2pm / nineteen american waysides / anomalous
two clattering engines weave while a disembodied voice wanders in the distance…
joe colley / future screaming / psychic stress soundtracks / antifrost
circuit glitches and found sounds build to a pulsating crescendo
chris watson / tortuga bay / - / -
in the midst of a massive surround seascape
doug haire / i-15s at id/ut border 4pm / nineteen american waysides / anomalous
trafficless midday roadside – we’re left only with the insects and the odd 78 additions…
jim hoult / wave organ / - / -
beautifully minimal reverberations of waves captured by enclosed space
meri von kleinsmid / the rats in the walls / ex vivo / mimeograph
if these are rats they can have the walls, and the ceiling and floor as well
doug haire / myrtle beach, sc midnight/abilene, ks sundown / nineteen american waysides / anomalous
whistling harmonics make way for singing traffic and wildlife
meri von kleinsmid / ethereal tether / ex vivo / mimeograph
dense rumble of birds, a tin can 1/4 full of water, traffic and voice
joe colley / all of us are monsters and all of us think the others are monsters / psychic stress soundtracks / antifrost
a bass rumble is agitated by a metallic squeak until it cracks
doug haire / alto, tn midnight/melstone, mt 2:30pm / nineteen american waysides / anomalous
one last sampling of swirling roadside ghosts…
chris watson / tortuga bay / - / -
…brings us back to the sea
