SYNCHRESIS
Calls and Programs.

Synchresis is divided into two sections:

Calls
Regards the annual selection of works to be included in the programs Synchresis.

Programs
Is the public presentation of the material collected in the Synchresis archive; the works can be part of different Synchresis programs, made up according to the situation.

The works submitted and accepted to the various Synchresis Calls can be included in different programs. There are generic programs, which collect the latest submissions or represent archival retrospectives. There are thematic programs, which collect works that share certain themes and aspects, and there are programs dedicated to specific authors or works. Programs are tailored to the situations that host them, the institutions, or cultural spaces that open their doors to Synchresis.


Synchresis is a non-profit, voluntary, and unfunded project. Anyone can collaborate with Synchresis, especially by suggesting venues where Synchresis programs can be presented.





Synchresis can be presented in different formats:

Concert Where the screening has a specific, defined duration depending on the situation. The event has a set time and occurs similarly to a concert or film screening.

LoopStation Where the program is presented in a continuous, cyclical format. This is the solution typically adopted in settings such as museums, exhibition spaces, etc.

Hybrid Concert The strong relationship between Synchresis programs and acousmatic electroacoustic music allows for the creation of events that alternate screenings with purely musical moments. Performances featuring live music alternating with Synchresis screenings have also been created.

Formats

Synchresis programs are created by collating all the material for the screening into a single video file, including the opening credits and specific credits. This avoids technical issues with the coexistence of different original formats, and the audio is normalized to achieve consistent listening without significant differences in volume.

Video The works in Synchresis are mono-channel. In the case of works originally intended for multi-screen playback, the authors will have created a single-screen reduction.

Audio The majority of the works in the Synchresis archive have stereophonic audio. However, there are works with discrete 4-, 6-, and 8-channel audio, which allows for the creation of multi-channel screenings (as in the case of Program 58). In this case, the video file will be mastered with the necessary audio channels embedded, simplifying the screening.
