SPLICE Institute 2020 will be held online and free of charge to all accepted applicants
SPLICE Institute is a weeklong, intensive summer program for performers, composers, and composer-performers interested in music that combines live performance and electronics. The 2020 Institute will take place June 21–27 at the Western Michigan University School of Music in Kalamazoo, MI.
The 2020 SPLICE Institute theme is Coding Extensions, which will include workshops on SuperCollider, JavaScript in Max, Max for Live, signal processing in Gen~, Open Music & other IRCAM Forum Tools, and scalable spatialization with spat~.
A variety of activities are offered to suit the interest and electronic music skill level of each attendee. Each day is filled with workshops, masterclasses, collaborations, and lectures, concluding with a concert curated and performed by faculty and guests.
Attendees participating in a concert collaboration will have the opportunity to create a new work to premiere at the Institute. Community building and collaboration form the core of SPLICE’s mission and activities. All participants become part of a community that continues to grow and develop beyond the Institute.
Each year, SPLICE Institute faculty and participants present up to nine concerts featuring some of the most exciting music involving live performance and electronics. Since 2015, over 250 works for live performance and electronics, including 123 world premieres, have been programmed at SPLICE Institute.
The SPLICE Institute’s infectious enthusiasm was clear... No doubt the SPLICE Institute will continue to grow as a hub of contemporary electroacoustic performance.
