Nuova Consonanza on the occasion of its 62nd Festival will dedicate a large section to exploring the relationship between music and sound spatialization.

For this reason, it announces a call for electroacoustic works in which the aspect of sound spatialization is a significant component of the composition.
Composers are invited to submit electroacoustic works, purely acousmatic or with the addition of a live solo instrument, designed for multichannel spatialization systems.

The call is open to all composers, regardless of nationality, and is reserved for authors under 40 years of age (born by 12/31/1986) in support of policies to enhance youth creativity.

The selected works will be programmed during the 62nd Festival di Nuova Consonanza in two concerts scheduled for autumn 2025 in Rome, at the “Mattatoio – la Pelanda”.

The works will be selected by an internal committee of Nuova Consonanza.
The artistic direction reserves the right to take the proposals into consideration also for future editions of Nuova Consonanza Festival.

Work Requirements:

The submitted works must be designed for multichannel diffusion according to one of the following standards:
Quadriphonic
Ottophonic
5.1
7.1
7.1.4
Dolby Atmos
Ambisonic up to the 7th order

All works, in any case, will be broadcasted in concert via a single standard 7.1.4 diffusion system. Works requiring more speakers than those available will be adapted to this system via conversion algorithms.

For electroacoustic works with a live solo instrument (with or without pre-recorded material), if live processing with complex systems or systems designed by the author is foreseen, the author must provide the necessary instruments.

The duration of each work is not pre-established, but a maximum duration of 15 minutes is preferred.

Each author may submit a maximum of two works.

No reimbursement of expenses is foreseen for selected authors.
