Call for Works

Ensemble_Codec is pleased to publish its first international call for new scores. The call is open to all composers and artists who pursue experimentation through sounds, with no limit of aesthetics, nationality or age.

The work of ensemble_Codec is focused on producing multimedial performances of instrumental and mixed music repertoire. The collective’s creative process is oriented towards shaping every aspect of music production, from interpretation to acoustic research, sound engineering and visual output, following solely what the score at hand demands and striving for its ideal rendition with complete artistic freedom. All members of the ensemble have vast and complementary experience in a diverse spectrum of new music aesthetics, interpreting both traditionally notated and improvisatory scores.

The Ensemble will select up to 3 composers and commission each of them a piece for the following instrumentation, or any subset of it, with a minimum of three performers:

- Clarinet (with Bass clarinet),
- Guitar (classic 6 or 10 strings diatonic or Yepes),
- Piano (with possible preparation),
- Double bass,
- Electronics (live or fixed media).

The presence of electronics is not mandatory, but preferable.
The commissioned score must have a duration between 10 and 15 minutes and it will have to be performed unconducted. Every self-made augmentation of instruments will have to be provided by the composer.
