- Interviews will take place remotely in March 2024 (via Zoom). Please check the interview information below.
Overview
Please submit a portfolio containing a résumé of your experience in Electronic & Produced Music to date and media examples of this experience. This is your main opportunity to showcase your experience, ability and potential. Quality, creativity and diversity are more important than length so please avoid saturating your portfolio with material and concentrate on submitting a small selection of your best work. We ask that portfolios contain no more than 10 minutes’ worth of material, although you are welcome to include links to additional material if you wish.
Portfolios should be submitted via a Dropbox link which will be provided to you by email shortly after 8 January 2024. Portfolios must be received by no later than 15 January 2024. All portfolios will be reviewed following this deadline.
If you satisfy the panel with your initial portfolio submission, you will be invited to the next stages of assessment as detailed below. Some applicants will not progress to the creative task/interview stages of the process and will be notified accordingly.
One week before the interview, you will be sent details of a short creative exercise to be completed on electronic instruments/equipment of your own choice. These details will specify the production of a piece of music of approximately two minutes in length and should take no longer than three hours to complete.
Please upload your completed exercise to Dropbox by no later than 12 noon on the day before your interview. Instructions about how to submit the exercise will be included in the creative task document.
Interviews will be held in March 2024 via Zoom. At the interview, you will be required to:
- discuss your electronic work to date
- present the results of your creative exercise
- discuss future aspirations
Outcomes will be issued once all candidates have been interviewed. As interviews often span several weeks, candidates should expect results to arrive up to 6 weeks after interview. We aim to issue outcomes as soon as possible and thank you for your patience.
