Guidelines

NIME04 welcomes submissions in the category of performance pieces.

Submission must be COMPLETED works, NOT proposals for works.

Successful submissions will be included in one of the two concerts associated with the event, on Friday, May 27 or Saturday, May 28, and will be performed in a 300 seat auditorium in the UBC School of Music's Recital Hall to an audience consisting of conference delegates and general attendees from the Vancouver area.

Unlike the concert of ICMC, in a NIME05 concert session, NIME05 will not arrange for a performer and instruments. For this reason, we intend to exempt composers accepted only in the concert session from the registration fee. We expect the composers of each accepted work to organize all arrangements for the performer and equipment. We have some equipment available as well as technical support in the Recital Hall and will try to accomodate as much as possible, however, ultimately, it is the composers responsibility for the performance.

Please check technical equipments and conditions (TBA).

To submit a work for performance, please email a short description (plain text format only, - NOT attached/encoded/Word!) of the work including ALL of the following:

  • Name (composer/performer)
  • Institution
  • Address
  • Email
  • Title of work
  • Year of composition
  • Duration
  • Instrumentation
  • Short program notes(Artistic/Scientific appeals)
  • Short biography
  • The set-up time and rehearsal time required
  • Detailed list of technical requirements (sound, light, stage area, etc.)
  • Linked URL for demo/sample/performance movie (QuickTime or MPEG or AVI). This movie serves as proof the work actually exists. Movie file size should not be larger than 60MB.

to the NIME05 artistic committee at Andy Schloss

If you cannot setup the linked-URL for demo/sample/performance movie, or if you want to send larger movies up to total 600MB, please send CDROM via real-mail arriving on or before Jan 31, 2005 to:

     Andy Schloss,
     School of Music
     University of Victoria
     Victoria BC CANADA V8W 2Y2

Submissions that do not have a video submitted either by URL or CDROM will NOT be considered.

Technical questions concerning the available material at Music Rectial Hall should be directed to NIME05 Local Performance coordinators, Keith Hamel (hamel[at]interchange.ubc.ca) and Bob Pritchard (bob[at]interchange.ubc.ca).
