Date: Deadline: Noon Tuesday 30 August Produced by: Sound and Music in partnership with Ludi Quartet Kernow, Academy of Music and Theatre Arts (AMATA), Falmouth University and Truro Festival Are you interested in experimenting and testing your ideas to create new work for electric guitar quartet ? Look no further! We have joined forces with Adrian Lee and the Ludi Quartet Kernow to offer composers the chance to develop new short-piece works that explore the 'expressive qualities' of the electric guitar... The works will be developed through a series of workshops in Cornwall, in autumn 2016 and spring 2017, during which composers will work in close collaboration with the performers supported by an experienced composer mentor. The electric guitar has an incredible range of scope, from the virtuosity and exuberance of soloist expression to percussive, experimental and textural variety produced by the use of extended techniques, customised pedals and other forms of player-operated sonic manipulation and merits the serious attention of non-player composers. As part of this project Adrian Lee and the Ludi Quartet Kernow aim to bring together up to three player - and non-player -composers alike to explore the potential of this entirely new, contemporary ensemble medium, premiering the resulting work at Truro Festival in spring 2017. Sound and Music's Creative Project Leader, Nicole Rochman explained: “It’s very exciting to be working with Adrian Lee and Ludi Quartet Kernow. This offers a great opportunity for composers to workshop ideas and explore the capabilities of the electric guitar with this unique ensemble." To apply: |
