The applicant must be a Netherlands-registere d legal entity running a venue or festival and carrying artistic and finan cial responsibility for its own programme\, so individuals and sole trader s cannot apply. Grants are calculated from travel and transport costs of t he incoming artists\, at a maximum of EUR 25\,000 per production and EUR 7 5\,000 per applicant across several productions. The core test is that the foreign work is rarely or never seen in the Netherlands and substantially enriches the existing Dutch offer\, which favours experimental\, non-cano nical and cross-disciplinary programming over mainstream touring. Experime ntal music and sound-art programming is not excluded\; the selection crite rion is rarity and added value\, not genre. Applications go through the Mi jn Fonds portal and there is no fee.

THE PREMISE: climate change is making major landslides\, ice-brea koff events from marine-terminating glaciers\, and sound-producing ice mov ements more common. These generate infrasonic vibrations inaudible to huma ns that sometimes spread across the entire planet and into the atmosphere. The residency asks how immersive sound techniques can make these events t angible and build meaningful sonic narratives from them. WHAT YOU GET ACCE SS TO: scientific data on seismological events\, vibrations\, infrasound a nd the movement of land and ice masses\, with scientific expertise from KN MI (lead researcher Jelle Assink) and artistic guidance from the Futures o f Listening team\, relating local events to global impact. RESEARCH QUESTI ONS to position your proposal against include how immersive sound can cult ivate situated listening to ecological processes and more-than-human encou nters\, how artistic and scientific methods of working with environmental data can inform each other\, and what is gained\, lost or ethically at sta ke when environmental sounds are translated\, interpreted or reconstructed through spatial and synthetic means. DELIVERABLE: residents are expected to create a final spatial sound production using the 4DSOUND system.

THE PREMISE: architecture is traditionally conceive d through form\, structure\, material and light\, with sound treated as so mething to be controlled or optimised afterwards. This residency asks what happens if architecture begins with sound\, shifting the question from ho w a space should sound to how sound can generate space. Spatial audio\, vi rtual acoustics and immersive media now allow prototyping of responsive en vironments\, impossible architectures and sonic spaces beyond physical con straints.
