Soundart for SoundLAB - Edition V :: Call for proposals :: Theme: soundSTORY :: deadline 1 August 2007

SoundLAB -is currently preparing its fifth edition and is inviting soundartists, musicians and composers to submit one piece of soundart using sound (music) as a tool for storytelling.

In 2004, SoundLAB was launched as a corporate part of the global networking project [R][R][F]200x—>XP - on the occasion of BEAP - the Biennale of Electronic Art Perth/Australia 2004. Soon thereafter it started acting on its own as an environment for sonic art.

Edition IV was launched in October 2006 under the title “memoryscapes” and included 144 artists and 235 soundart pieces dealing with “memory and identity”; it became a part of the media art show selfportrait - a show for Bethlehem - a show for Peace - which is currently running at MACRO - Museo de Arte Contemporaneo Rosario/Argentina

Edition V has the theme: “soundSTORY” and explores “sound” as a tool for storytelling. Therefore besides the soundart piece itself, the story the piece tells has a particular relevance.
