An Open Call Reminder from NewTown

Project Name: TBD
Deadline for Proposals: October 5, 2008
Results of Proposal Review Announced: February 15, 2009
Projected Date of Show: mid-June, 2009

Project Summary

This open call is inspired by a fascination with music boxes, player pianos, pianolas, street organs and even Luigi and Antonio Russolo’s intonarumori – all instruments making music or organized sound through various applications of mechanical origin. Artists from all disciplines are welcome to submit proposals, however, a major portion of review criteria will be the ability to create interesting, new music or organized sound.

We Seek

Unique musical instruments that are primarily mechanical, but may incorporate electro-mechanical elements. Instruments may be:
•    Instruments designed to make or perform original music, whether pre-composed, improvised or programmed into the instrument through mechanical or electro-mechanical means;
•    Unitary or self-contained devices;
•    Audience interactivity may be element.
