2026 call prix russolo

Since its creation in 1979, the Russolo Award explores new sonic territories opened by the interfacing research of the composer, painter and metaphysician Luigi Russolo (1885-1947). A key figure of the musical revival of the twentieth century, Luigi Russolo became famous in 1913 with his manifesto The Art of Noises, which develops the idea that all sounds, especially those from the industrial world, have their place in musical orchestration. It will move from theory to practice by developing many sound machines like the famous:
• Noisemakers/Intonarumori / Bruiteurs
• Rumorharmonium/Russolophone,
and invent noise music, foreshadowing the concrete and electronic music. From the start Russolo seek to reach higher states of consciousness through images or sounds, it is within this context that the Prix Russolo opens its field of research, from this 33rd edition, to all acousmatic or electronic music making visible or audible the immaterial in this double movement of materialization of the spirit and spiritualization of matter.
From propositions received, 7 selected works will be presented from July to December 2026 in several cities where the audience will vote for Prix Russolo award. The winner will be communicated during the last Prix Russolo concert.
Kind of Music:
Trash & rubish music, Musique Concrète, Art acousmatique, sound error, noise music, Bruitisme, PK-UFO music…

BIOGRAPHY

Louise Rossiter (1986) is an Electroacoustic composer based in Leicester, UK.
Louise's research interests include expectation in acousmatic music, silence and music, acoustic ecology, multi-channel composition and spatialisation. She completed a PhD at De Montfort University, Leicester under the supervision of John Young and Simon Emmerson, having studied previously under Pete Stollery, Robert Dow and Robert Normandeau.

Her current research carries on from doctoral research to explore ways in which interactions of sound, silence, and timbral blending might evoke implications, expectations and questions. She recently completed the Der Industriepalast suite which explores the work of Fritz Kahn. Dr Kahn's work revolutionised the area of infographics by producing images representing the human anatomy as complex pieces of machinery.

Louise's works aim to provide a highly immersive sonic experience which are in some way,
unpredictable. Previous projects have focused on silence, contrasting real and imaginary places and enigmatic sound.

Her works have been performed and broadcast internationally at EMS, Electronic Music Week (Shanghai), Influx (Musiques et Reserches), L'espace du sons, NYCEMF, BEAST, SSSP, Sound Festival, Soundings..., Sound Junction, Toronto Electroacoustic Symposium, Bologna Conservatory of Music and Electroacoustic Wales. Louise has also been invited to present her work and research as featured artist at BEAST (2018), USSS (Sheffield) (2019), Electric Spring Festival (Huddersfield) (2020) amongst others. In 2019, Louise's work Homo Machina was selected to represent the UK at CIME in Krakow.

She is also a judge for a number of international composition competitions including Musica Nova (Prague), CIME, Prix Russolo and others. She is since 2022, CEO deputy of Prix Russolo organisation.

Louise has also had works awarded in several international competitions, including in the
Destellos International Composition Competition, Musica Nova (Prague), Franz Liszt Stipendium (Weimar), Electronic Music Week (Shanghai) and in 2012 was awarded first prize in the prestigious L'espace du son international spatialisation competition. In 2021, she was awarded the Prix Russolo for Synapse.
