Music from MTI @ the Silence Festival, Bari

Music by six MTI composers will feature in a concert at the Silence Festival of Acousmatic Art in Bari, Italy, on 18 December.  Pete Batchelor's Fuse, James Andean's Déchirure and John Young's Three Spaces in Mid-Air are works by staff members to be presented along with pieces by three MTI doctoral graduates: The stones can speak by Virginie Viel, Talasgair by David Holland and Tender glance by Robin Parmar.

The Silence Festival was established in 2004 to present an international spectrum of acousmatic music in concerts using the The m.ar.e acusmonium—an integrated system of 40 loudspeakers for immersive sound projection. Since 2010 the festival has been permanently based in the Cittadella Mediterranea della Scienza, an exhibition centre whose aim is to stimulate interest in science and technology among young people.  This year's Silence Festival runs from 16-18 December.

Neal Spowage Fashion Film Prize + Recent Presentation at Haptic Narratives, Greenwich University

A radiophonic composition by postgraduate student Neal Spowage titled Dis-comforting has been used as a soundtrack for a fashion video short of the same name by Ania Sadkowska.

This video has just won the first prize POLIMODA & ASVOFF Video Contest For IFFTI2015 (International Foundation of Fashion Technology Institute) annual conference in Florence, Italy which is organised by the international fashion institute, Polimoda: MOMENTING THE MEMENTO.

The film explores older men's experience of fashion and clothing. The result to-date includes a set of themes capturing the richness of the male ageing phenomenon in relation to fashion and clothing, their writer interpretation and corresponding fashion artefacts and films.

Additionally, Neal recently presented his video New Track of Unknown Terra II to Haptic Narratives - Textural Exploration in Film at Greenwich University, UK, on 21st May 2015. This series of events focused on exploring and engaging with haptic sensations through tactile cues on film and the environments associated with moving images. It is organised by TiMaDi (Time, Materiality and the Digital Research Group).
