The piece should have broad aesthetic appeal and should be able to serve as an advertisement of the creative possibilities offered by spatial audio (i.e. it should sound good and be novel and exciting).<br> <br> The selected partnership/group will be supplied with a <a href="http://uk.europe.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=209&amp;subcategory=669&amp;product=14064">Creative Sound Blaster® X-Fi Elite Pro</a> soundcard, a set of <a href="http://uk.europe.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=4&amp;subcategory=113&amp;product=9306">Creative® GigaWorks™ S750 7.1 loudspeakers</a> and Creative’s custom <a href="http://developer.creative.com/landing.asp?cat=1&amp;sbcat=31&amp;top=76">Interactive Spatial Audio Composition Tool (ISACT™)</a> software. The work should be produced, delivered and presented using this technology, which will be the artist’s to keep. In addition SpACE-Net will contribute towards artist’s fees and expenses related to the completion of this work.<br> <br> The <a href="http://developer.creative.com/landing.asp?cat=1&amp;sbcat=31&amp;top=76">ISACT</a> toolset incorporates a library for building interactive spatial audio compositions into software applications. In evaluating the proposals the panel will be looking for creativity and novelty in the proposed use of this combination of hardware and software to produce a high quality, stimulating and accessible piece of interactive spatial-audio-focused sound work.<br> <br> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Tutorial Sessions Announced!</span> <br> All designers/artists who are interested in submitting proposals are required to attend an ISACT toolset tutorial with experts from Creative which will take place during SpACE-Net’s <a href="http://space-net.org.uk/node/156">2nd International Workshop</a> at the <a href="http://www.york.ac.uk/">University of York</a> on Wednesday 23rd January 2008.
