Seeking Sonic Art for Open Day Juke Box!

If you are an artist that works in sound and wish to have your works aired, please send us wav or aiff files with your contact details and a brief synopsis about the work. Deadline: 25th May 2010. You will be acknowledged in full for your assistance and talent!

Many thanks in advance as receiving your works!

Contemporary Sound Art Archive (CSAA)

Currently, SoundFjord is endeavouring to collect and preserve for the great and the good a comprehensive archive of Sonic Art works and documentary evidence through photography, film, sound files, analogue and digital formats, writings, letters, emails and so forth. The archive is also serving as a document of the gallery’s past exhibitions.

The archive is known as the Contemporary Sound Art Archive (CSAA).

SoundFjord is constantly on the look out for new items to add to their collection. Should you have work you wish the gallery to consider please let SoundFjord know. We are happy to consider, photography, video, books, leaflets, letters, writings, tapes, CDs, DVDs, digital sound files and so forth.

The archive when suitably collected, stored, categorised and annotated will be available for viewing to artists, researchers and the interested general public at no cost. Unfortunately, items from the archive may not be removed; all items will be made available for reference purposes only.

Please contact the Curator should you wish to submit work to the archive: helen@soundfjord.org.uk

N.B. Do not send items to the gallery before sending SoundFjord prior information.

Dragonfly Festival

SoundFjord is to premier international sound artists works this coming August at the sublime surroundings of Ekehagens Forntidsby, a bronze age settlement close to Gothenburg. The sound works will be played within the sanctity of tall birch trees and to the lapping of a nearby lake.

The play list is yet to be revealed as further sound artists are sought. On this occasion, SoundFjord is looking to show 2-4 channel works of a duration no longer than 10 minutes per piece. Multiple pieces may be submitted. There is no restriction as to the content of the work.

Send your applications in the form of wav or aiff files along with contact details to: applications@soundfjord.org.uk
