Immersive Sound is a 5-day festival in Leipzig, which wants to connect artists and scholars in the field of immersive art. Additionally the focus lies on the presentation on exceptional immersive sound performances by international and emerging artists in the newly built 170m² concert venue, with its 32.4 dome sound system.

Therefore, we are looking for a sound performance by a female* artist based in Sachsen to be presented as part of the Immersive Sound Forum, which will be happening in Leipzig from April 14 to 18, 2021. The submitted sound performances should be dealing with the broad topic of iImmersion and should have a length of anything between 25 and 45 Minutes. If the performance isn’t already created for a multichannel setup, we would ask you for a short concept of how your work could adapt to this situation.

The selected artist will receive

• a guaranteed fee of 600 Euro to cover time and labour for the concert and its preparation;
• travel expenses and accomodation for two days;
• support in sourcing basic technical equipment where possible;
• support for preparation;
• two days in a 3D sound studio for preparation purposes;
• an opportunity to participate in an international arts festival;
• an opportunity to build a new audience for your work;
• valuable opportunities to develop networks alongside exceptional international and emerging artists.

To apply please send the following material to opencall@zimmt.net by October 25, 2020:

• short bio
• small concept of the performance
• link to documentation of exemplary works
