We are looking for works that would liberate us from our presuppositions of ourselves and the form itself and, in doing so, would unveil something alien within - just like sound unveils traces of sonorous.. 

We are looking for works that go beyond conformational frameworks. 

​

Sonically, they may appear as non-idiomatic improvisations, concrete music, acousmatic, electroacoustic, experimental electronics, noise, field recordings, digital glitches, or/and anything one would call non-music. But aside from sound, we are open to visual contributions and various media.

​

With this gathering, we aim to create a collective art piece that reflects on the alien/stranger theme from multiple perspectives, forming a sort of constellation with them. 

The resulting assemblage will be digitally rendered as a virtual audio-visual installation within a space of our site and published in digital format on Subvert and Bandcamp, with corresponding materials that recover artistic processes, concepts, scores, notes, and artworks.

​

Besides that, we hope to organise some live events around occurring sequences of art mutations and to build a supportive community of strangers. ​​

 

To apply, please send a download link to one previously unpublished track (you can use any file transfer, such as Wetransfer, Google Drive, etc.) with the information you would like to provide: name, description, materials, technique, artist’s bio, links, and so to alienationindex{@}gmail{.}com 

or through the form below.

 

We consider works without any information as well; yet, we are open to and curious about your conceptual framework, visual art, or anything you would add to accompany this work.

​

The track should be 1-10 min long, 44.1 kHz, 16-bit stereo WAV format. Ambisonic works should be rendered as binaural stereo.
