JTTP 2014

15th Jeu de Temps / Times Play

Winners | Submissions | Events | Awards | Jury | CD Cache 2014

Recent works by young and/or emerging composers and sound artists from or living in Canada are featured in the 15th edition of Jeu de temps / Times Play, coordinated annually by the CEC since 2000. JTTP 2014 events included a special concert in the 21st Dias de Música Electroacústica in Seia, Portugal.

Coordinated by the Canadian Electroacoustic Community (CEC) since 2000, Jeu de Temps / Times Play (JTTP) is an annual project aimed at supporting and encouraging new electroacoustic works by young and/or emerging sound artists from / living in Canada. A diverse international jury selects five prize-winning works as well as a collection of works for inclusion on the Cache compilation CD. A focus issue of eContact! features all submissions to the project, and a number of international radio broadcasts and concert performances are coordinated each year. Several past winners have gone on to win prizes in other renowned electroacoustic competitions internationally, such as Bourges, Métamorphoses and the SOCAN Foundation Awards.
