SUMMARY:Development opportunity for Scotland-based composers
DESCRIPTION:The new works will be performed during soundfestival 2022. \nThis development opportunity for Scotland-based composers is part of the soundcreators programme\, which focuses on nurturing creative talent.\nsoundcreators is funded by PRS for Music Foundation\, Creative Scotland\, Foyle Foundation\, Hugh Fraser Foundation\, Hope Scott Trust and Aberdeen City Council. \nThis opportunity is organised in partnership with sound. sound is a new music incubator based in north-east Scotland encouraging new music creation and discovery. They run the annual soundfestival\, as well as year-round activity supporting a wide range of composers\, engaging with local communities and providing educational opportunities. \n  \nDraft schedule:\nSession 1: Introduction to voice and viola\nWhen: Thursday 11th August\, 11am-1pm\nWhere: Zoom\nThis first session will primarily be an introduction to writing for voice and viola and will be led by both musicians and Laura Bowler. \nSession 2:\nWhen: 29th and/or 30th August\nWhere: Zoom\n1-to-1 mentoring sessions with Laura Bowler and/or musicians. The composers will submit short (approximately 30 second sketches) in advance.\nFollowing this\, the composers will work up full pieces for the third session. \nSession 3:\nWhen: Saturday 17th September\nWhere: TBC (Central Belt)\nThe composers will work alongside two musicians to develop new works. It is expected that composers will bring work in progress with them. The session will last a whole day.\nThe composers will then have until mid-October to make any last adjustments. \nRehearsal:\nWhen: Monday 10th October\nWhere: TBC (Central Belt)\nHalf-day rehearsal of finished pieces with the composers in attendance. \nPerformance:\nWhen: 30th October\nWhere: Aberdeen\nA performance of the new works as part of the 2022 soundfestival. There will also be a rehearsal prior to the performance. \n  \nCandidates \nThe five successful candidates will be talented composers resident in Scotland. They can be at any stage in their career\, however they should be able to demonstrate a number of years of compositional experience\, and must be able to articulate their development needs and how the opportunity would benefit them. \nPlease note that we are committed to working with and supporting composers from under-represented groups. Female\, trans\, gender-diverse and ethnic minority composers as well as composers with a disability are encouraged to apply. \nFinancial support for the opportunity is limited to related expenses for travel/accommodation. There will also be a small commission fee of £200 per composer for a delivered piece to be performed at soundfestival. \n  \nHow to apply  \nTo apply for the opportunity please complete this Google form. \nDeadline for applications: 15th July 2022 \nIf further information is required\, please contact Elza (info@sound-scotland.co.uk). \nWe will inform you whether you are successful or not by the 22nd July 2022. \n  \nSelection process  \nAs mentioned above sound is committed to working with and supporting composers from under-represented sections of the population. To enable this\, there is a two-stage application process: an initial selection is made\, and then this is narrowed down in a second stage selection process. If you are a female\, disabled and/or BAME composer\, you can self-select to be put forward automatically to the second round if you want. The selection panel will be made up of the composer mentor\, a representative of sound (either a staff member or the Chair) and of Red Note. \n  \nNotes to composers applying  \nSelection for new music opportunities is inherently subjective and the criteria used can differ from project to project. We are frequently over-subscribed and often the quality of applications is extremely high from a wide range of composers\, which usually means making difficult decisions. \nReasons for selecting one composer over another are not always to do with skill level or experience. We may\, for example\, be looking for the right fit for us as an organisation at a particular point in time e.g.\, we may be looking to develop specific strands or activity or genres of music. \nFor development opportunities that happen in a group setting\, it may be that we need to take into consideration the coherence of that group e.g.\, we may prefer to have composers of a similar experience-level. We thus sometimes end up turning down composers with more experience or skills\, or giving opportunities to composers who we feel would benefit most from a particular opportunity at that stage in their career\, and faced with difficult choices we may sometimes turn down composers who may have already benefitted from a number of opportunities in the past. \nWe would however encourage composers to apply for any opportunities that interest them and for which they fit the specification\, and not be discouraged if they are not selected for a particular opportunity\, as it does not mean that they are not “good” enough. Please do continue to apply for any opportunity that interests you! \n
