Call for Multichannel Works – Sound in SpaceElectroacoustic Music Concert
June 6, Bilkent University Music Department
We invite submissions for Sound in Space, an electroacoustic concert exploring
spatial sound and multichannel composition. The call is open to all composers and
artists.
The concert will be presented on a 3D
loudspeaker system consisting of:
- 8 ear-level speakers (octophonic ring)
- 4 ground-level speakers
- 4 height-level speakers
- 1 subwoofer
Requirements
- Works must be fixed media multichannel compositions
- Minimum format: 8 channels. Works engaging the full system will be prioritized
- Stereo, quadraphonic, 5.1, or similar smaller formats will not be accepted
- Maximum duration: 12 minutes
Accepted composers are encouraged to attend the concert.
Accepted formats:
- Ambisonics (AmbiX format, up to 7th order)
or
- Discrete multichannel audio (channels clearly labeled*) accompanied by a binaural
render
*For discrete multichannel submissions, audio files should follow a clear and consistent
labeling convention to ensure correct routing on the 17-speaker system. Each channel must
be identified using standardized IDs: E1–E8 for the ear-level octophonic ring (arranged
clockwise from front-left), G1–G4 for the ground layer (front left ,front right, back right ,back
left), H1–H4 for the height layer (front left ,front right, back right, back left), and SUB for the
subwoofer. File names should follow the structure [WorkTitle]_[ChannelID].wav (e.g.,
MyPiece_E1.wav), or alternatively, a single interleaved WAV file may be submitted using the
fixed channel order E1–E8, G1–G4, H1–H4, SUB (e.g., MyPiece_17ch.wav). All submissions
must also include a brief routing sheet clearly indicating how channels correspond to speaker
positions, and a stereo binaural render labeled accordingly

provide:
- A download link to the audio files (WeTransfer or similar)
