Composers and Artists whose works are accepted and programmed for performance in concerts or installations are required to attend in person. Composers and Artists are expected to provide their own performers if needed. Hotel discount rates will be available, and participants will receive free admission to all events. A registration fee of $45.00 is required for participation. Early registration fee (received before May 1st, 2012) is only $25.00, instead of $45.00.

Composers and Artists whose works are accepted for the BYTE Gallery digital kiosk are not required to attend in person, but are certainly welcome. Participants in the BYTE Gallery are not required to pay a registration fee.

1) Electro-Acoustic Music: Fixed Media (Concert or BYTE Gallery)

The Electro-Acoustic Music category is for fixed works of music/sound art. These works should be electronically/digitally conceived and produced. In other words, these should not be recordings of vocal or instrumental acoustic compositions. It is certainly acceptable, however, that works may be derived from acoustic sound sources. Stereo or multichannel (5.1, Quad, or Double Diamond 8(Front:L,C,R;Side:L,R; Rear: L,C,R) is acceptable for concert presentation, although a stereo mix should be available for BYTE Gallery works.

2) Electro-Acoustic Music: With Performer(s) (Concert only)

The Electro-Acoustic Music category is for works of music/sound art that involve a live performance element, including interactive works.

The Videomusic category is for works that explore non-narrative abstraction with equal emphasis on electro-acoustic music/sound art and moving images. Stereo or multichannel (5.1, Quad, or Double Diamond 8(Front:L,C,R;Side:L,R; Rear: L,C,R) is acceptable for concert presentation, although a stereo mix should be available for BYTE Gallery works.

The Dramatic Video category is a theatrical work of short video/film where digital technology is an essential part of the creative process. The video should be accompanied by stereo audio, unless it is intentionally silent. If the work includes sound, it must be stereo.

The Animation category is for video works that explore non-narrative abstraction with primary emphasis on moving images. Works may or may not include sound. Stereo or multichannel (5.1, Quad, or Double Diamond 8(Front:L,C,R;Side:L,R; Rear: L,C,R) is acceptable for concert presentation, although a stereo mix should be available for BYTE Gallery works.

6) Digital Print/Still Image (BYTE Gallery only)

The Digital Print/Still Image category is for fixed/still artworks where digital technology is an essential part of the creative process.

Interactive installation/sound sculptures. Artists submitting installation works should submit an abstract along with supporting imagery, diagrams or footage of the installation. Artists will be required to provide all resources: computers, speakers, etc.

8) Late-Night Club Electro Music (Concert only)

This category allows for electronic/computer/techno/electronica, etc., music that explores hybrid forms, intended for bar/club venues. DJ set, jam band, songwriters, jazz soloist with a machine counterpart, etc., as long as the electronic part is significant and relevant, works in this category are welcome.
