Selection of up to 5 proposals by composers, sound artists and performers for a residency, research and production programme of new projects within LA STELLA DENTRO, the 69th International Festival of Contemporary Music organised by La Biennale di Venezia (11 > 25 October 2025).
In line with the theme of the festival, which explores the idea of music as a form of cosmogony, the young participants in the call are invited to propose a musical project that investigates the generative nature of music and its autopoietic quality of constructing open and complex universes from a closed system of rules and procedures. The young participants are invited to explore music as a living organism in which composition and performance are intimately connected and inseparable parts of the same organic process of creation.
The eligible musical project categories are:
· live performance (with optional audiovisual component)
· acousmatic composition with multi-channel diffusion
The focus of the call is on the possibilities offered by electronic and electroacoustic music to expand the potential of acoustic instrumentation and develop autonomous compositional and performative tools for building complex musical universes.
Figures of excellence from various fields of artistic and theoretical research in contemporary music (ranging from academic research to performance practice, from audiovisual multimedia research to club culture, from electroacoustic music to sound design) will assist young participants in developing their own musical projects through a residency programme held in Venice at the studios of CIMM (Centro di Informatica Musicale e Multimediale della Biennale di Venezia) and other spaces within the Arsenale of Venice.
The selection will be made taking into account the research areas of the different mentors, so that each one can be the direct supervisor of one or two selected projects.
Those selected will attend lectures and conferences held by the mentors and work in residence, creating new projects to be scheduled within LA STELLA DENTRO, the 69th International Festival of Contemporary Music organised by La Biennale di Venezia.
