Art Music Denmark, Klang Festival, MINU_festival_for_expanded_music, Sound Art Lab/Struer Tracks (Struer, DK) and Another Sky Festival (London, UK) invites solo artists working with sound, experimental music and/or composition from the SWANA region (South West Asia and North Africa) to apply for a paid three-month residency with Sound Art Lab, in Struer, Denmark.
Two selected artists will have access to state-of-the-art facilities for working with sound. The purpose of the residency is for the two selected artists to create new works and/or performances.

The residency periods will be mutually agreed with the selected artists, but provisionally:
- Artist 1 – in residency from June-August 2025

Both artists will present work (an existing or new piece) at Struer Tracks festival in August 2025, as part of their residencies. Additionally, one artist will present/perform their new work at MINU_festival_for_expanded_music in November 2025. The other will present their new work at Klang Festival in June 2026.
The programme is open to all forms of media and artistic practices as long as sound and/or composition is a central element of the work. They encourage applications from diverse practices, including (but not limited to): sound art, experimental music, conceptual art, installation, performance, multimedia projects, workshops, and artistic activism.
