Bernhard
Gal - Upcoming Activities
[February 2016]
Hello everybody,
2016 will be a quiet year of research, study and creation.
At least this was the plan. So please don't read any
further.
I've been trying to minimize side activities, in order to
focus
on new publications, the completion of my phd studies
(at last), and some artistic and curatorial long-term
projects. However, there are a few things that may
just as well be announced.
A) Austrian State Scholarship for Composition
Happy to announce that I was awarded the 'Austrian State
Scholarship for Composition' for 2016. After 2004, it is
'my'
second one, and I can say it still feels pretty good,
especially
since as a composer I am basically an autodidact (lucky
me) ;-)
- I appreciate it as a kind of 'official' acknowledgment
of my work.
Plus, this grant will help to further several
compositional
endeavours throughout 2016, such as the completion of the
work series 'homesweethomes' and the creation of the
electro-acoustic composition 'Bar.Bari', as well as work
on
a (not yet to be revealed) long-term intermedia project.

C) Visiting New York in May 16
After a hiatus of seven (!) years, I am going to visit NYC
again,
mainly to accompany my lovely composer-wife Belma who
will present two concerts, for details see here:
http://belmabeslic-gal.eu/upcoming.htm
I'll be pursuing some sound art research while I
am around,
but no concerts, lectures or radio shows are scheduled
at this point.
However, I might also schlep a few copies of my new book
along - anybody interested, please get in touch ahead of
time.
D) Encyclopedic Article on 'Sound Art'
This one's mainly for the German-speaking crowd: A while ago I wrote
an article on 'Klangkunst' (i.e. sound art) for the 'Lexikon Neue Musik'
which will be published by the German publishing house J.B. Metzler
this March. At 99.- Euros it is not exactly a bargain, but it may
end up at your local university library anytime soon ...

E) Book & DVD 'Zwischenbrücken'
'Zwischenbrücken' was published last November, so
I still consider
it 'fresh'. It turned out very nicely which makes me
quite proud,
since most of the production work was done by myself. If
you'd
like to get a copy at a special price, just let me know!

Well, that's it for the time being.
If you feel like following my activities, please see my
official website, or take a glimpse at this weird facebook
site that gets updated now and then:
