== The OHMI-Ars Electronica Prize == | |||
[http://www.ohmi.org.uk/ OHMI] have launched a prize in partnership with [http://www.aec.at/ Ars Electronica] for the development of a musical instrument that can be played with one hand. | |||
Entrants to the One-Handed Musical Instrument Competition are challenged to develop a musical instrument that can be played (i) without the use of one hand and arm and (ii) that is capable of emulating a traditional orchestral instrument. | |||
The challenge should not be underestimated. It is a very tall order to replicate the subtlety and complexity of an orchestral wind or string instrument. Of necessity, there will be a combination of delicate and subtle physical actions perhaps involving electronic, programmable hardware and complex software. We are planning that the winning instrument(s) may give public performances in Linz with the Bruckner Orchestra and in Britain with a UK orchestra (discussions are in progress). We hope that the UK performance may be broadcast nationally. | |||
To submit an entry to the competition, go to ohmi.aec.at and complete the initial registration form. Thereafter, your entry can be edited and altered until you choose to click "finalize". The next winners will be announced at the 2013 Ars Electronica Festival, for which the submission cut-off date is June 30th 2013. However, on the entry form you can elect any year for your entry and in either the "Concept" or the "Playable" categories (see below). | |||
