The Transport Project

Detailed Rules

• Absolute maximum of 4 mins duration, preferable shorter, as it will allow more pieces to be played;
• The sample or part of the sample must be the only source material;
• Submission must be by CD, DAT or a data file in either WAV or AIFF format. An ftp site will be available on request
• Submissions must include
  • Short program notes
  • Technical information on hardware/software/methodology used
  • Short composer bio
  Each of these should be less that 100 words.
• Composers must state whether they are willing to have their work on Project CD, or not. This will have no influence on the decsions, but will make my life easier if we make a CD again. The default is that it can be published on a CD.
• Composers are encouraged to provide e-mail addresses so works can be acknowledged, and any queries dealt with rapidly.
• The closing date is 1 August 2003, but earlier submissions would be much appreciated. Late submssions may be accepted entirely at my discression
• Composers will be notified by 1 September 2002 of the results, hopefully so any necessary travel can be arranged NEWS: I am running about 10 days late
• It is not a requirement that composers be present at ICMC2003, but I hope to arrange a concert there either on or off ICMC, and participation is encouraged.
• Judging is by a small listening panel, and any useful feedback from the panel will be available to composers
• The web page will be updated to show progress
• Schools, Colleges and Conservatories are encouraged to use the project in their teaching, and to submit student pieces.
