This call is directed to European artists with a close relation with music and sound, with a focus on experimentation, innovation, improvisation, cooperative creation and audience engagement. The selected artists will take part of one artistic residency (in France, Portugal, or Czech Republic) with a duration of seven or eight days.
During each residency, a group of seven European artists will work collectively under several work strategies, from open and graphic scores, soundscape composition, sonic ecology or collective improvisation to create, record and present publicly the output of their work.
Each residency has a specific theme, directly related with the space where it will take place.
- Residency #1: Porto | 18-24 May 2026 | Coordinated by Sonoscopia: The focus of this residency will be the development of a series of small actions – performances and recordings – within the context of the local community surrounding Sonoscopia’s neighbourhood.
- Residency #2: Prague | 9-16 June 2026 | Coordinated by Unijazz: The participants will work with a group of teenagers in a secondary school environment; together, they will prepare a site-specific performance that moves through the school.
- Residency #3: Germ (France) | 20-26 July 2026 | Coordinated by Muzzix: The aim of this residency is to encourage sound artists to shift their creative practices by making the natural environment a driving force of the artistic process.
To apply, artists should have the nationality or a residence permit of the participating countries of Creative Europe.
The programme provides a total fee of 1,680 EUR including employer’s costs (1,890 EUR including employer’s costs for Prague), travel, food and accommodation.
