As part of Audio Mostly 2019 we welcome the submission of original music works.
Accepted submissions will either be performed at a dedicated concert during the conference or exhibited as an installation, depending on the nature of the submitted work.
List of Possible Topics (Music)
- Work related to the conference theme of “A Journey in Sound”
- Multi-modal audience experiences
- Pieces that use experimental narrtive structures

We welcome works in any style or genre, with a maximum length of 8 minutes (shorter works are also welcome). Front of house PA, microphones, stage monitoring, projector and screen will be provided as standard but any further specific equipment requirements should be outlined in the supporting document. Where possible and within reason we will endeavour to meet performer requirements, however extraordinary equipment requirements will need to be discussed with the music chair following acceptance. Please contact the music chairs (see contact details below) if you have any questions regarding this.
We particularly encourage submissions of technical papers related to music works. Please state if the work is related to a submission to the technical program.
