A new community of ‘makers’ has emerged in electronic music. These
makers are not content with using off-the-shelf ‘instruments’, but
seek to create their own devices and systems to generate sound.
Initially this would seem to have transpired through the need to
personalise and critique our relationship with ever increasing
esoteric and corporate technologies. There is a focus on the
handmade, a DIY (do-it-yourself) ethos, working directly with
materials and craft, raw analogue and hybrid electronics, and found
sound and noise.
But the electronics are only part of a bigger picture. Doing it
yourself requires knowledge and inadvertently this has created
forums to exchange and share ideas and information. It is more a
case of DIT (doing-it-together). The Internet has provided a
depository of ‘HowTos’, whilst the workshop has physically brought
like-minded people together from a range of disciplines to foster a
new artistic practice. The boundaries between instrument making,
composing and performing have become increasingly blurred to reveal
an overriding process and participatory approach that is as much
about socio-political concerns as electronic music. The bringing
together of practitioners into a realm of shared experiences has
highlighted the importance of collective music making and has
encouraged the rise of the large electronic music ensemble. This
in-the-momentness has also placed an emphasis on the live as opposed
to the recording. By starting from the ground up, in the very
essence of how a sound is made, there is also a predisposition
towards exploration and invention resulting in a truly experimental
practice.
Running parallel with the ephemerality of the live performance,
shared experiences and sound making are the physical things that are
left behind: sound artefacts, instruments, circuits and assemblages
where sound and the plastic arts meet. Are these devices like
musical scores or documents of the artistic process, or works of art
in their own right? This issue of /Organised Sound/ thus encourages
a broad submission from artists and theorists whose work relates to
and investigates, amongst others, the following topics:
· DIT (do-it-together)
· Craft through electronics
· Workshop practice
· Techno-politics
· Composing ‘inside’ and ‘outside’ electronics (post-Tudor)
· Found sound and noise
· DIY approaches
· Large group electronic music
· Sound objects and materialism
· Electronic music as social practice
· Organology
As always, submissions related to the theme are encouraged; however,
those that fall /outside/ the scope of this theme are /always/ welcome.
SUBMISSION DEADLINE: 1 February 2013
