The Artists and Scientists in Residence programme is inviting artists and scientists to realise an interdisciplinary artistic-scientific project at ligeti center in Hamburg, Germany, from March to mid-April 2025. In close cooperation with the labs situated at the ligeti center, the focus will be placed on experimental work with technologies developed at the ligeti center.
The technologies are:
- Impulse Pattern Formation (IPF): investigating how dynamic and complex patterns in musical systems can be described and understood
- Der Hexenkessel (witch’s cauldron): an augmented musical instrument, combining a classical orchestral timpani with multitouch tracking technology and embedded video projection
- The record-o-mat: a generative audio sampler
- Moving Sound Sources: drawing inspiration from the fixed media composition ‘Turenas’ (1972) by John Chowning
It is possible to apply freely for a sound or multimedia project. In the decision-making process, the jury will consider the innovation of the project proposal, the potential for collaboration with the various labs of the ligeti center, and the professional competence of the applicants. The centre only accepts applications from individuals. Residents are expected to give a talk and present their work and results at the end of the term.
Support:
- A scholarship totalling 2,000 EUR net for the duration of the residency (which the residents can use as they see fit), as well as an accommodation allowance of 17 EUR/day if the selected person is not living in Hamburg
- Basic technical support
- Professional documentation of the events during the residency
