S.L.\u00c1.T.U.R. is a composer collective centered in Reykjav\u00edk, Iceland. Since 2005 its members have been working on various types of experiments. These include animated notation using computer graphics, interactivity, various experiments with sounds and tunings, performance art and the development of limited and isolated musical universes. The members share ideas and methods freely while the final results are usually independent efforts.<\/p>\n

For instance an annual festival called Sl\u00e1turt\u00ed\u00f0 (since 2009), New Years Concert (since 2007), The Trial for the Tripe (since 2009), participation in the Raflost Festival (since 2008) and bi-annual activites such as Composition Week and Summer Solstice Concert.<\/p>\n

The organisation has hosted a monthly informal concert series and a weekly social gathering for people interested in various issues in the field of the artistically obtrusive. At one point it also held bi-weekly score reading gatherings (known as the right-wing) and N\u00f6rdic (or nerdic) evenings (known as the left wing).<\/p>\n

In recent years recitals consisting specifically of S.L.\u00c1.T.U.R. material have been held in Berlin, New York, Glasgow, Los Angeles, Princeton University,\u00a0 Gothenburg, Oslo, \u00c5rhus, \u00c5lborg, Malm\u00f6, Istanbul and Volgovgrad. It’s been featured prominently in the Tectonics\u00a0 music festival in Reykjav\u00edk (2012-2015) and Glasgow (2014). Many of the composers that have been active in the organisation have had performances around the world and the BBC Scottish Symphony did a concert in October 2014 that featured works by 6 Icelandic composers 5 of which had some affiliation with S.L.\u00c1.T.U.R..<\/p>\n
