Concours de Bourges 2016

MusInfo is pleased to announce the third edition of the International composition contest for acoustic instrument and electroacoustic device Sampo. With this initiative MusInfo proposes to open a new space intended to uphold the work of contemporary composers and sound artists in the field of “live-electronic” music.

Composers are invited to write a short study of 2 to 4 minutes maximum. The electroacoustic device is represented by the software P-Soft supplied by MusInfo. The composers whose studies are chosen will receive a commission from the Opus Centrum ensemble who collaborates with MusInfo. They will be invited to write a full length composition that will be played and recorded next year.
The electroacoustic device will be supplied to composers by MusInfo for the period of composition.
This year the studies may be written for the following instruments: violin or clarinet.

The call is open to composers of any ages.
The contest is open to any short study (from 2 to 4 min long) written for P-Soft and an acoustic solo instrument (violin or clarinet). No other software or audio files may be used.
The software needed to participate in the contest is available for download at the following address: http://www.sampo.fr
