Inter_agency is an artistic research project funded by the Austrian
Science Fund (PEEK AR 483) and hosted at the Institute of Electronic
Music and Acoustics (IEM) of the University of Music and Performing Arts
of Graz. The focus of the project lies in the compositional exploration
of intelligent agent-based systems and the application of machine
listening and machine learning in interactive electro-instrumental
compositions.
For our 2020 residency program, we seek project proposals that add new
perspectives to our research topic. We invite composers, sound artists
and performers to submit proposals related, but not limited, to one of
the following topics:

- Interactive improvisation and performance systems
- Applications of AI and machine learning in composition and performance
- Machine listening based systems for generative music - Real-time
composition
The selected applicant is expected to work on-site at the Institute of
Electronic Music and Acoustics (IEM) in Graz on a composition,
installation or performance which will be presented at the IEM during
the residency. The artist-in-residence will be part of our research team

- Maria Gioti and Gerhard Eckel. The selected applicant is also expected
