a couple of calls

A couple of interesting calls that have both been trailed over at Counting Backwards in case you missed them. Both on pretty short deadlines.

The first via Tony Trehy is a call for submissions for inclusion in a CD of language/text-based responses to the great contemporary composer Luigi Nono. The works will also be featured in a sound art exhibition in October-November as part of the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival.

If you would like to be part of this project contact Tony Trehy at tony (dot) trehy (at) tiscali (dot) co (dot) uk.

Deadline 15 September. http://www.luiginono.it/en/

The second via David Berridge is:
