Call for Works
AI-MAAKO 2021
The International electroacoustic and experimental music festival “AI-MAAKO” extends a call for works to be programmed in its new 2021 edition.
In this opportunity, the theme of the festival will be centered around the 20th anniversary of the first electroacoustic music concert by the Centro de Música y Tecnología, which will lead to the creation of CECH (Comunidad Electroacústica de Chile) and this very same festival.
Works are encouraged to reflect on this anniversary and include it in their artistic approach and/or narrative.
Like the previous 2020 edition, the festival format will mostly consist of online concerts. For this reason, works in the category of acousmatic, mixed, soundscape and live electronics are strongly encouraged to implement a visual component to be presented (a live performance video, field video recording, supplementary visual material to the track, etc.). If the work doesn’t implement a visual component, it must be informed in the submission. If the work is selected, a generic Ai Maako festival image will be added to display the work.
Available categories:
1. Fixed Media / Acousmatic
2. Mixed:
a. Real Time Electronics
b. Fixed Electronics
3. Field Recording
4. Live Electronics
a. Live set
b. Live Coding
c. DIY Kits
5. Video
a. Solo video
b. Video and Electronics
c. Video and Instrumental parts
d. Video and Mixed electronics
