We present a diverse range of works that engage with or extend current compositional aesthetics and techniques as well as collaborating with other artforms and technologies. As part of our goal to present an broad an international perspective on new music as possible, we invite you to submit works for our ensemble that have been written within the past 2 years, or an idea for a new work (along with a an example of your previous work as a score + recording). Selected composers will have their works workshopped by the chronology arts ensemble with a view towards public performance, recording and possible digital release.
Please submit your works in PDF and/or mp3 formats to info@chronologyarts.net along with a short bio and photo.

chronology arts is open to collaboration with open-minded artists of any field, in any part of the world.
If you have performance talent and would like to audition or propose to perform with us, please email us with a short bio outlining your professional experience and your interests as a performer. We do have a very high standard of performance as rehearsal periods are intense and usually short, sometimes with the composer other times without, with a lot of private rehearsal and research being required, although we are always there to offer assistance.
If you are a composer and you would like to either write a new work for us or submit an existing piece for our consideration, please email us with a bio, a recent score (in 300dpi (max) PDF format) with a recording, or else post us these materials to PO Box R625, Royal Exchange, NSW 1225, Australia.
If you have a concept for a project, whether it be a concert, event, show, digital art, film, recording or installation, and you would like to collaborate with chronology arts at this level, please send us a proposal, no longer than one page (about 350 words) detailing the artistic vision you have and what you see as being the role of chronology arts. We are open to consider any type of proposal, however the success of it will based on artistic merit, and feasibility given the financial, technical and time limitations of everyone who may be involved.
Our preferred format for image and document files is PDF or Word 03, for video MPG, and for sound MP3, or else a DVD, CD and hardcopy of images and documents is acceptable as well.
