  Hack the Bells, Deadline Sept 1 *An International Remix/Carillon
Performance Competition*
Deadline: September 1, 2014
Grand Prize: $700 USD

Hack the Bells <http://hackthebells.org/> is the world’s first remix
competition/prize for the carillon. This project is an exploration in sound
and vision that asks artists and new media visionaries to use the bells as
they see fit — to “hack the bells.”

This project encourages artists, musicians, performers, and other
visionaries to use the Campanile and/or our library’s
<http://hackthebells.org/open> openly licensed Campanile audio and images
in their creative work.

The UC Berkeley campanile was completed in 1914 and stands at a foreboding
307 feet. Visitors may take a short elevator ride and climb 38 stairs to
visit its inner workings: the 61-bell carillon.

A carillon is a music instrument composed of at least 23 carillon bells
arranged in chromatic sequence, so tuned as to produce concordant harmony
when many bells are sounded together. It is played from a keyboard that
allows expression through variation of touch.

Works will be submitted to and reviewed by a jury of international artists,
new media innovators, cultural curators, and academics. The winner will be
awarded a prize of $700 USD and an opportunity to have their work
permanently acquired by the University of California, Berkeley, and the
Anton Brees Carillon Library for public display and use. Three runner-up
prizes will be awarded, totaling $100 USD each.

The contest is graciously sponsored by the Berkeley Center for New Media
<http://bcnm.berkeley.edu/>, Anton Brees Carillon Library
<http://boktowergardens.org/tower-gardens/library-archives/>, Meyer Sound
<https://www.meyersound.com/>, the Open Knowledge Foundation’s OpenGLAM
initiative <http://openglam.org/>, The Guild of Carillonneurs in North
America <http://www.gcna.org/>, and the Hargrove Music Library at UC
Berkeley <http://library.berkeley.edu/MUSI/>.
