Dear colleagues & friends,
We happily announce the call for Europe's Eighth Student 3D Audio
Production Competition S3DAPC, and IEM Graz will host the event in
cooperation with vdt (German tonmeisters) and sounding future via live
internet stream, globally distributed academic live breakout venues, to
award, honour, and present the final ranks of the finalists in a public
ceremony around the beginning of November, complemented by on-demand
browser playback via Cat3DA (see
https://tonmeister.org/en/rubrics/3d-audio-competition/2023/ for last
year's finalists).
Also this year, the Austrian ORF Ö1 radio station and its contemporary
music festival ORF musikprotokoll will be our partners to host a
pre-final public presentation (Oct. 3th, 2024) of the category 1
finalists at Dom im Berg, Graz.
We encourage all students who deal with spatial music, spatial
recording, or who are interested in spatial-ized sound to participate by
submitting short works to the Eighth Student 3D Audio Production
Competition for one of the three categories:
(1) contemporary / computer music (11min),
(2) audio drama / documentary / soundscapes (4min),
(3) music recording / studio production (4min).
The format requirements for preparing a submission and exemplary tools
to check are given here https://iaem.at/ambisonics/s3dapc/2024 and of
course you can get in touch if there are questions:
The submission portal
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=s3dapc2024
is open until June 30th 2024.
An international jury will assess the submissions concerning the
creative and technical quality, providing feedback to all the
participants of the competition. Based on the resulting ranking, the
finalists will be selected for presentation at our (virtual) award
ceremony in November 2024. Moreover, finalist works for category (1)
will be presented at musikprotokoll festival of the Austrian
contemporary/classic radio program (ORF OE1) on October 3th, 2024. The
finalists will be notified and requested to (virtually) attend the
meeting to receive their award, the jury’s comments, and say a few words
about their submissions.
The nominated submissions will be made available via the Cat3DA player
at tonmeister.org for head-tracked binaural playback on demand, and we
will air a live video stream of the S3DAPC finals over the internet. The
S3DAPC finals with the awards ceremony will be the platform to present
and celebrate the nominees and their submissions.
We encourage institutions with loudspeaker facilities and space for this
celebration to organize live breakout sessions. These are connected via
stereo live stream for the speech parts of the event, but local
listeners enjoy 5th-order playback of the submissions on loudspeakers.
Best regards,
Matthias Franz
Franz Zotter
