Dear all,<br><br> this is to inform you that we have extended the deadline (15th March)<br> for the 14.3 issue of the eContact journal, which I'm Guest Editor<br> for.<br><br> Due to the specificity of this issue, we are unable to consider<br>
proposals exclusively focused on traditional gestural controllers.<br> Although critical case studies including gestural control along with<br> biosensing techs are welcome.<br><br><a href="http://cec.sonus.ca/econtact/14_3/call.html">http://cec.sonus.ca/econtact/14_3/call.html</a><br>
<br> Below the original call in case you missed it.<br><br> thanks,<br> best wishes,<br> M<br><br> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br><br> eContact! extends an open call for contributions to an issue focussing<br> on the use of the body in electroacoustic performance practice,<br>
coordinated by Guest Editor Marco Donnarumma. Performers, composers<br> and others are encouraged to contribute their perspectives on the role<br> or position of the body in experimental practices of musical<br> performance.<br>
<br> Submission deadline: 15 March 2012<br> Publication: 15 April 2012<br><br> Suggestions for contributions include, but are not limited to the<br> following ideas:<br> - Use of Mechanical Myography (MMG), Electromyography (EMG) and other<br>
similar biological signal measurements in performance<br> - Scoring / notation of body-related performance<br> - Sound Art dealing with the body and biological aspects of performance<br> - Development of DIY, biological-based, Interactive Musical Systems (IMS)<br>
- The definition / augmentation of Self on stage by means of biotechnologies<br> - Cognitive aspects of embodied interaction between the biological<br> body and computer<br> - Composer—Technology—Performer: definition of roles?<br>
- Live electronics vs. fixed media in biotechnological performance practice<br> - Historical overviews and reflections<br> - Critical perspectives on gesture-based “human-computer interaction”<br> - The sound of flesh…<br>
<br> We also welcome other contributions that engage in a discourse on the<br> relation between biophysics and music. Feel free to propose other<br> ideas!<br><br> To state your interest in contributing or for further information,<br>
