ODESSA IV: Composition Competition for ACTOR Student Members
The blending of sound sources is a multi-dimensional phenomenon that is influenced by musical and acoustical factors. Previous investigations have already been undertaken in the earlier parts of the Orchestral Distribution Effects in Sound, Space and Acoustics (ODESSA) Project.
To investigate the relationship between the musical attributes and the impression of blending, recordings of performances of specialized compositions that feature these musical attributes are needed. This current Research-Creation Project is part of ODESSA IV: New orchestra recordings – measurements – systematic analysis.
Scripts for ACTOR Edutainment Films
We invite all ACTOR members to submit script proposals for individual films to appear in an animated edutainment film series. Edutainment films combine education and entertainment in fun, innovative, and informative stories. The films are targeted toward curious students and an educated lay audience. The series will appear on the ACTOR/TOR websites and the ACTOR YouTube channel.
