About The Call
We continue our successful series of Calls and competitions with the launch of the new Call for Electroacoustic Works 2019
With this project, we hope to discover innovative composers with an original style and voice, outstanding productions and good quality music that would otherwise remain under the radar.
RMN Classical mission is to promote and nurture the contemporary music scene and we always hope to discover the next generation of composers that will craft the music of the next century as other composers did in the past and during the 20th Century… …composers like Prokofiev, Bartok, Ravel, Ligeti, Varèse, Berio, Barber, Carter, Crumb…
This opportunity is open to composers that own works (both live or studio) of electroacoustic, acousmatic and sound-art music and would like to get the opportunity to see their work published in a contemporary music album produced to showcase and promote contemporary music.
The best works will be featured in a top quality album that will be produced by RMN Classical and released worldwide through RMN Music. The release will be distributed on a high-quality edition on Spotify, Apple Music, Google Play Music, Amazon Music, and many other stores and platforms. Optionally, and based on demand, there will be the possibility for physical distribution too. The release and the winning works will be also added to the Sound and Music Archive of the prestigious British Library (London, UK). Potentially other prizes will be included as well and we suggest to review the prize category of this page to discover more details.
