一、作品集提交准则Portfolio Guidelines

The Herb Alpert School of Music at CalArts works towards developing the entire artist and focuses on individual pathways. The faculty is interested in seeing and hearing material that offers a sense of who you are as an artist. We want to know what you are thinking about what kind of work you are currently working on and what you would like to create while at CalArts. Students are welcome to apply with advanced musical backgrounds as well as with unique creative backgrounds from other artistic disciplines. For example if your work has gravitated toward sound in recent years but you have a background in another discipline (art architecture film/video etc.) we still encourage you to submit your work. Students are able to develop high-level skillsets appropriate to support their professional goals from creating advanced works for ensembles to designing sound art installations. This specialization looks for students from the broadest ranges of the sound and composition spectra.

Example areas of interests may include: contemporary composition and performance practices for all instruments and media installation work electronic and computer music digital multi-media sound art field recording experimental pop improvisation systems performance art experimental performance new methods for notation interdisciplinary collaboration and more. CalArts takes a global approach to stylistic and cultural backgrounds and diverse sources of inspiration.
