Call For Artists: Soundwave>Series ((3))
MOVE>SOUND

ME’D1.ATE is seeking artists and musicians for the third season of  
the Soundwave>Series, the innovative Bay Area multi-venue event  
series exploring imaginations in sound. Scheduled for the Summer of  
2008 in San Francisco USA, this season’s theme is titled MOVE>SOUND,  
where artists and musicians explore the intersection of motion and  
sound, in its production, collaboration, performance and interaction,  
and how this engages, inspires, and challenges audiences and  
performers with a new, bold and intense aural experience.

Important Dates

Call Closes: December 17 2007
Invitations: February 4 2008
Performance Development: March-June 2008

The theme tries to reinterpret how we see, feel and experience our  
auditory senses, how this moves us physically, emotively,  
intellectually and spiritually. It investigates new and innovative  
ways to experience sounds relation to movement and explore how these  
connections invigorate and inspire new directions in sound making.

composers, performance artists, dancers, installation artists, media  
artists, filmmakers, animators, spoken word artists, visual artists  
and other artistic organizations and individuals that involve an  
exploration between sound and movement. Performers are encouraged to  
explore new and innovative ideas of getting audiences closer to their  
own sound/music using forms and concepts of movement. Possible ideas  
may include motion sensors, dance collaborations, film  
collaborations, theatrics, moving vehicles, visual cues, sound  
generating mechanisms, installations, audience movement, and any  
other ideas conjured by your imagination)

time and learning of new technologies to be fully realized. ME'D1.ATE

equipment and feasibility needs but the artist is fully responsible  
for the final work and its requirements for performance.

About Soundwave>Series

Soundwave>Series is Project>Soundwave’s biennial event series  
recently named Best Sound Sculptures – Future Classic by San  
Francisco Magazine’s BEST of 2007 issue. Each season investigates a  
new idea in sound and invites diverse multidisciplinary artists and  
musicians to explore the season’s theme in new and innovative  
directions. It challenges and inspires artists and audiences to look  
deeper into the sound medium and discover new connections to sound  
making and experience. The Soundwave>Series has completed two  
successful seasons, Season 2’s SURROUND>SOUND in 2006 and Season 1’s  
FREE>SOUND in 2004, and is currently developing Season 3’s MOVE>SOUND  
set to launch in 2008. Project>Soundwave, launched in 2004, explores  
the boundaries of how we see sound, language and music. It is a  
project dedicated to explore innovative sound work and present  
intriguing artists in sound and music through the production of CDs,  
exhibitions and live events. Its mission is to explore the creation  
of sound; attempt to understand and shape the aural landscapes in  
everyday life; and finding innovative ways to engage the listener  
using sound as language, music, environment or a vehicle for human  
connection and interaction.

"The Soundwave Series has sought to make irrelevant the typical  
distinctions between artist, musician, audience, stage, and venue...  
idiosyncratic performances that are challenging, charming, magical,  
assaultive, and (as is always the case with really sweet sound art)  
deeply personal for everyone present." –SF Weekly

"It's an artisitic and exploratory experience for your senses that  
will open your eyes and your mind." – Nitevibe

"The result is a breathtaking assortment of experimental sounds,  
noises and rhythms… that approach sound from a uniquely artistic  
perspective...testing the limits of sound's raw emotional  
capability." -– SF Examiner
