Check all that apply (the more flexible you can be with your proposal, the easier it will be for us to find the best context for your performance)!

Once your proposal has been accepted, the composer, co-creators and performer names cannot be changed without going through a second review process by the selection committee. Thank you!

If you are hoping to work with Illinois Modern Ensemble, please send email to info.kiss2020@gmail.com first to discuss which instruments are available. Once you have agreed on the instrumentation, please describe it here. Thanks!

You can revise the program note later if you save the link that you receive after submitting the form. Please describe the work and how it is related to one or both of the themes: "Sound of Science" or "Origin Stories"

For example, what kind of technical challenge(s) are posed by your piece? Which challenges and solutions do you think you would focus on?

Overview of some of the clever and interesting solutions you have come up with for creating your live performance in Kyma

We cannot guarantee (due to the complicated scheduling problem) but we will take your preferences into account!

How many live input microphones do you need? Do you have all necessary preamps built into your audio interface?

Do you plan to bring your own input microphones with you? If not, then what kind of microphone do you need? If you don't need any microphones, just answer "None needed" here.

Just select 0 if you do not need any mic stands

For example, are stage monitors required for the performers? Do performers have to be able to see the screen?

For example, how much table space, how many chairs, music stands, lights, podium, or other non-electrical items that may be needed?

From the time you walk in the door until the time you are ready to provide sound output for a sound check?

Please note that this is to check levels, not a full rehearsal.

For example, will you need video projection to show your Kyma screen? Do you need a second screen for slides?  Will you be using the same number of microphones and outputs or fewer? Please give it some thought and let us know how your demo setup may or may not be different from your live performance setup. Thanks!

Also, if you've performed this (or a similar) piece before in other venues, what were some of the technical challenges you had to face in those other venues & how did you solve them?

Since the focus of KISS 2020 is human interaction, we ask that, should your proposal be accepted, you will attend the symposium to present your work. (If unavoidable and unforeseen circumstances prevent you from attending, your presentation will have to be dropped from the program). Since the proposals are carefully reviewed by a selection committee, we ask that, if your proposal is accepted, you do not substitute a different work or different co-presenters without re-submitting the new proposal for a second review by the selection committee prior to the submission deadline. Although our budget sadly does not allow for remuneration of presenters or performers, the organizers have generously offered to subsidize presenters, co-presenters and performers of accepted presentations by offering a reduced-rate conference fee (which is equal to the subsidized student rate).
