For our Open Call in May many interesting and relevant projects came in. We ended up approving five of them and therefore welcome Britta Björs, Eduardo Abrantes, Maria Norrman, Ilma Virtala, Sten-Olof Hellström & Ann Rosén in our upcoming programme of residencies, research and public projects.
The second round of applications for the Make Sound Residency in collaboration with Danish Composer’s Society has resulted in two new upcoming residency projects with Ragnhild May & Stefan Maier and Niels Bjerg & Kirstine Kyhl Andersen. The number of applications was not very different from the first round, but the quality and specificity of the application were higher and more developed this time. The residencies will take place during the Fall and Winter of 2017/18. More info on both of their projects will be published on our website shortly.
Next deadline is September 1.

The two first Make Sound residents in 2017
The composers Christian Skjødt and Kaj Duncan David are the first two to have been awarded a residency at Inter Arts Center. Here is what they will each use their stay for:
Christian Skjødt (f. 1980)
Composer and sound artist Christian Skjødt has been awarded a two month stay at IAC in spring 2017, where he will have the opportunity to develop his artistic work regarding phenomenological studies manifested as sound installations/works. He will do so on the basis of the Russian scientist Kéon Theremin’s (1986-1993) inventions ranging from music instruments and monitoring technology.
“I believe that the combination of experimental art and artistic research that IAC offers is obvious in connection with my project and my work in general.
For instance, I specifically hope to draw on researchers and competencies in the human perception, low- power electronics and interface design. Further, I see that having both studio, recording studio, and various viewing platforms available as a unique opportunity to try out ideas and to develop”.
Christian Skjødt’s research will result in an installation as part of Intonal Festival in Malmø April 27th-30th 2017.
Kaj Duncan David (f. 1988)
Kaj Duncan David has been awarded a residency at IAC in late summer 2017 for developing a work for electronic wind quartet and light, commissioned by the Swiss saxophone quartet, ARTE Quartett.
”In this work, I will convert raw MIDI data directly from the instruments (AKAI EWIs) to light via DMX. This means I can explore an interactive relationship between musician, sound and light that is more nuanced and complex than in my previous pieces.
In order to develop such a connection between sound and light, as well as learn about the use of different light equipment in order to develop the idea of a light sculpture, the technical assistance and the resources that IAC offers, is essential”
Critical representation & VR is a Nordic collaborative project led by author-directors Emma Bexell & Stefan Stanisic of Swedish company of performing arts Bombina Bombast. The main part of the work will take place in Malmö and Inter Arts Center but activities also occur in Amsterdam, Stockholm, Helsinki, Copenhagen and Oslo.

Bexell and Stanisic will work at IAC with a combination of criticism and practice in a series of workshops and productions where they, together with invited artists and HCI researchers, explore the performative uses of virtual reality technologies and the radical potential of VR to present perspectives and narratives where audience agency and embodiment are unconditional parts of the storytelling. The aim is to develop methods for the artistic process with focus on diversity in representation, and explore audience experience.
As part of a new residency program for contemporary music, sound art and experimental club culture in collaboration with Inkonst, the artist Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe will work in IAC’s studio on the project Phantom Feed, focusing on the exploration of absence in narration.

Lisa Busby and Gabriel Bohm Calles are undertaking the first stage of an investigation to explore unprofessional frameworks, unheard sounds, untrained bodies; uncovering value in prosaic and overlooked gesture.
Lisa Busby and Gabriel Bohm Calles are undertaking the first stage of an investigation to explore unprofessional frameworks, unheard sounds, untrained bodies; uncovering value in prosaic and overlooked gesture. Informed by their shared research interests in empowerment through the everyday and ‘availablism’, traditional club or gig experiences are deconstructed, and personal and sociocultural conventions and tropes interrogated and exploded. By creating a shared field of activity where their roles and actions become dissolved, transcending their respective fields of sound and movement, they are working towards understating how to ‘remix’ their own practices and reflecting on how this could inform our conception and enactment of research.
Inter Arts Center and the Danish Composers’ Society offer a residency programme at IAC for Danish composers who work with experimental music and sound art. This is an open residency where artists can develop their own projects with sound as the focal point, based at the IAC facilities.
Applicants may apply for stays of between 2 weeks and 2 months, and there is a deadline twice a year. In addition to access to the IAC’s facilities and technical assistance, the residency includes travel support, lodging in Malmo and a production budget estimated according to needs and the length of stay. We expect to be able to offer 2-4 residencies per year.

APPLICATION PROCEDURE
Composers and sound artists residing in Denmark or with a significant connection to the Danish music scene can apply for a stay at IAC.
Composers who wish to apply must submit an application describing the project they want to work with during the residency. In addition to a description of the project with an elaboration about how exactly the facilities that IAC offers will be made use of and involved in the work and during the stay, the application must include a motivation for applying for a residency at IAC.
It should also specify whether the application is for a shorter stay (2-4 weeks) or a longer stay (5-8 weeks).
The applicant must provide a resume, 2-3 examples of existing works as well as an estimated budget for the project.
ASSESSMENT CRITERIA
The assessment will emphasize on the extent to which the individual project idea and the desired residency can help to expand and develop new fields of music as well as sound-based art. We value all qualifying attempts to exceed and challenge the boundaries of what we normally associate with contemporary music and sound art.
We only accept applications by email.
DEADLINE
Applications can be submitted twice a year with deadline: 1 February and 1 September.
Applications should be sent to:
Christian Skovbjerg Jensen.
