Opportunity: CAMPBIENT: The 44 Hour Sound Art Residency

Aritistic Discipline: Music

June 5 – 8, 2025
Manchester State Park
Port Orchard, WA

CAMPBIENT Volume 6 takes place at Manchester State Park, with stunning views of Puget Sound, historic military structures, wooded hiking trails, and over 3,400 feet of saltwater shoreline.

CAMPBIENT is an annual sound art residency that brings together people for 44 hours to conceptualize, produce, and record 44 minutes of sound art compositions all while camping in a state park. Participants are split into groups, each responsible for one portion of the composition with the only caveat being that a continuous field recording base track is audible throughout the piece.

The residency includes sound-related workshops, creative activities, and a start-to-finish audio production process, the results of which are pressed on vinyl records and distributed digitally. Participating artists camp out, share meals, and collaborate in field recording, sound-making, and creative play. CAMPBIENT is held in a new state park every year, and all audio production and activities are off-grid and battery-powered.

Eligibility: Individuals - Participation is by application and is open to any interested individuals – not just sound artists, but artists of any discipline, as well as musicians, conceptual thinkers, or anyone who wants to explore the practice and theory of collaboratively producing sound-based artwork in a natural environment. Diversity is encouraged, and there is no expectation of prior musicianship or sound art experience by selected participants.
