 Call for live performances!

Submission deadline: Saturday, January 6 2024

Hi BEAMERS!

Art's Birthday is just around the corner and we are looking for live performers. This year's art's birthday will be held in person live at the Idylwyle community league hall (8631 81 St NW, Edmonton, AB).

It is going to be a full day of live music. The first half of the day will be an open mic for Idylwylde community members. The second half will be BEAMS experimental music performances. There are no specifics for the performances we are looking for. Just your creative selves doing what you love in the name of art! Performances will be scheduled for 20 minutes. This event is sponsored by AMAAS and BEAMS performers will be compensated.

We are seeking submissions of video or Twitch live streamed performances from sound and electroacoustic music artists of all kinds. A modest artist fee will be paid for the accepted submissions.

Together Apart is an evening of sound and electroacoustic music artists from around the world to be presented by the Boreal Electroacoustic Music Society (BEAMS) on November 24, 2023 at 8 pm on our streaming channel: https://www.twitch.tv/beamsdotca

The previous three years’ events were very diverse with artists from Canada, UK, USA, Lithuania and Estonia. The performances explored various facets of improvisation, modular synths, found sound objects, and location specific works. Their accompanying videos featured computer generated images, analogue video synthesizers, manipulated video, documentary style footage, 16 mm experimental film and documentation of the performance itself. We are again looking for diverse “audio wonderments” to share with our audience this year!
