A Score Space is a spatial approach to musical composition in an 
electronically extended environment. This collaborative, 
cross-disciplinary workshop will address the following issues:
>  How can the practice of musical composition integrate the 
> techniques and ideas of sound, image and space?
>  How can the musical score be transformed for the practice of 
> electronic instrumental music and media art?
>  How can interactions between sound, electronics, the body and space 
> expand the musical instrument?

The focus of this workshop is to create scores, which map the spatial 
interactions between performer/instrumentalist, audience and sound. 
The scores may be graphic, moving, invisible or inscribed in the 
space by the movements and interactions of the people. Various 
spatial sensing techniques can be explored to incorporate motion, 
location and environmental data into the interaction with sound. The 
performance of SPIN will act as an example of a score space.

The Score Spaces Workshop aims to create a platform for 
composers/artists to practically experiment with ideas of score and 
instrument in a technologically extended environment. Building on 
Yolande Harris' research Score Spaces, the workshop will provide an 
opportunity for artistic development through practice and group 
discussion. The results of the participants experiments and 
compositions will be publicly presented in the form of a performance 
or installation on the final evening at the contemporary music and 
sound art venue Intro | In Situ.

------

The workshop is suitable for composers, sound artists and musicians 
who have worked with other media. It will also be relevant to artists 
with backgrounds in visual art (media art, video), architecture, 
interaction design, dance or film, who also work with sound. Each 
participant will need to have sufficient technical and conceptual 
proficiency to contribute to the group.

The workshop is intensive and residential, for between 6 and 10 
participants. The participants are expected to work with their own 
computer where possible and bring any specialist interfaces or 
instruments. Basic equipment including sensors and interfaces will be 
provided. Each participant is required to contribute 300 euros to 
cover accommodation and meals.
