ContinuuCon Issues Call for Presentations

ContinuuCon 2023, the fifth international Haken Audio Continuum conference, will take place on May 17–19 in Palmela, Portugal. The conference’s organizers are issuing a Call for Presentations to anyone interested in presenting a program, staging a workshop, or giving a demonstration directly related to the Haken Continuum Fingerboard, Haken ContinuuMini, EaganMatrix Module for Eurorack, or Expressive E Osmose synthesizer.

Scheduled presenters so far this year include Lippold Haken, inventor of the Continuum Fingerboard and ContinuuMini, Edmund Eagan, developer of the onboard synthesis engine the EaganMatrix, and Guillaume Bonneau, Expressive E’s principal sound designer. Christophe Dusquesne of Haken Audio and La Voix du Luthier, multi-instrumentalist Rob Schwimmer, Finnish composer Benedict Slotte, and University of Wisconsin professor Daniel Grabois will also be presenting.

If you have an interesting idea for a presentation, please submit an informal proposal to continuucon2023@passosecompassos.pt as soon as you can. Presentations should be 30, 45, or 60 minutes in length. Although we have not set a fixed deadline for applications, time and space are limited, and we can no longer accept applications once the available slots have been assigned. You will be notified whether your proposal has been accepted at that time.

Submitting a proposal will give you the opportunity to share your ideas, experiences, and insights with conference attendees. Being selected will promote your status in the musical community and contribute to the advancement of EaganMatrix-based instruments. The organizers will judge your proposal based on the relevance, quality, and focus of your material, and whether your presentation is educational or practical in nature. Please note that sales presentations will not be accepted.
