NWEAMO WORLD TOUR call for works |
 |
[as received per e-mail and to who it may concern:]
"Hello Fellow composers! This is Massimo Massarotto, board member of NWEAMO (New West Electro Acoustic Music Organization).
I would like to invite you to our annual celebration of creativity. Our organization is a non-profit, all volunteer organization that puts together a world wide touring electro-acoustic music festival. This is an occasion to strengthen our experimental music community, showcase your compositions worldwide and discuss the matters of electro-acoustics with composers from all over the world!!
NWEAMO is now accepting subscriptions for our 2006 festival with the theme of:
Pulse: the Influence of Africa
Submission Deadline: March 15, 2006
NWEAMO 2006 will be held in the finest cities of San Diego CA, Portland OR, Morelia ME, Roma IT in the period between September and October 2006.
to subscribe: www.nweamo.org
We want your personal interpretation of African pulse, rhythms, musics, dances, cultures, traditions, philosophies, and spiritual practices.
The music of Africa is among the most powerful and influential forces in world culture. The musical structures, practices and instrumentation permeate virtually every continent. In the Americas, nearly all modern genres are consequent of the confluence of African musical and, a more deeply, spiritual force (e.g. rock, hip-hop, salsa, samba, jazz, tango, blues, reggae etc.). African spirit percolates throughout Asia, Australia, the Near East and Europe as well. This sacred and secular force pulses below the surface, providing a communal mind meld and a contemporary ritual dance throughout the planet.
The 2006 NWEAMO festival seeks works which feature a connection with Africa. The connections may be direct or oblique, from quotes to references to distant echoes. As usual, works do not have to strictly adhere to the theme. We are looking for all genres and ideas in the world of electro-acoustic music!
Call For Works is also available in Spanish and Italian. Please see www.nweamo.org.
Thank you for your attention, we are eager to receive your compositions!!! If you may, pass this message on to your fellow composers, they deserve a chance to participate as well!!!

The Mission of NWEAMO: To forge connections between the composers, performers and lovers of avant garde classical music and the DJs, MCs, guitar-gods, troubadours and gourmets of experimental popular music. When there is no connection, both suffer: When classical music does not connect with popular culture, it becomes a music of experts, unable to reflect and contribute meaningfully in the broad marketplace of developing ideas and cultural experimentation. When popular music has no connection and communication with the classical it becomes naive and superficial, untethered to its historical roots and broad cultural underpinnings. A healthy cultural milieu celebrates both." |
