International Curatorial Selection of You Can’t Outrun Your Daydreams — MUSLAB 2023 Planeta Complejo

Kyle Vanderburg’s You Can’t Outrun Your Daydreams received international curatorial selection through MUSLAB 2023; a planned Guayaquil presentation was subsequently affected by venue-related programming changes.

Overview
Kyle Vanderburg’s electroacoustic composition You Can’t Outrun Your Daydreams was selected through the international curatorial process for MUSLAB 2023 Planeta Complejo. MUSLAB received more than 360 compositions from 46 countries, with Ensemble MUSLAB members selecting works according to artistic and programming criteria. The work was considered for presentation in Guayaquil, Ecuador, but late changes in venue availability forced MUSLAB to alter the program and remove previously considered works. The planned Guayaquil performance ultimately did not occur.
Professional Context
This activity documents international external evaluation of Vanderburg’s electroacoustic creative work despite the eventual performance not occurring. MUSLAB received more than 360 compositions from 46 countries and described its programming as a curatorial selection by Ensemble MUSLAB members based on artistic and practical criteria. You Can’t Outrun Your Daydreams was considered for the Planeta Complejo program in Guayaquil, but an unexpected loss of concert-hall availability required organizers to remove works from the planned program. The record therefore represents international curatorial recognition rather than a completed performance.
