take place. This could be a testing ground for works in progress
and new works intended for exhibition.

and what input, if any, would be required of other artists or operators.
Also describe what you could contribute to the makeup of the workshop
and a list of technical skills. Collaborative applications are welcome.

weeks. It is possible for artists to attend one week, depending on
the nature of their application and their input to the workshop).

Places: limited to 12. This will made up of approximately half
sound-artists and half artists / practitioners from complementary
disciplines. (Due to the postponement of last years SALab, two of
these places have been gauranteed to funded artists). Please note

funded places cannot be filled.

facility and equipment use, operational & technical support.

(Fees may be subsidised depending on the success of the DJCA
in securing outside funding. To assist with their fees,
applying artists are recommended to make applications to their
local and regional Arts Councils and other grant giving bodies).

Deadline: June 1st 1998.

Gregg Wagstaff will lead two 'Soundwalks' on the weekend
of July 11th & 12th. These excursions will also provide the
opportunity to relax and see some of Scotland's wonderful
landscape.

Travel will be provided to the 'Great Glens' on Saturday, and
then on Sunday to the East coast. In both cases a walked route
will be followed which will focus one's ears on particular
phenomenon within the soundscape. Individuals will be
encouraged to contribute to a sound diary for each day, using
whatever form of notation they wish.

These Soundwalks will also be open to members of the public
outside of the Sound Arts Lab. Any interested ears should
contact Gregg Wagstaff or Jo Coull as soon as possible. You
will be able to see / hear / read documentation of the Sound
Arts Lab including Soundwalks on these pages by the end of
July 1998.
