Hey everyone, I'm in the middle of creating volume 2 of a compilation of music made entirely from field recordings, and due to some re-organization and people dropping out, I have 1 (maybe two) openings for new musicians to submit new work. First of all, I'm really trying to maximize the location diversity of this collection. (This will be more thoroughly explained in a bit, but I don't want to waste anybody's time.) Since I already have contributors from these locations, I can't take any more work based in: United States United Kingdom Germany Sweden Japan Italy Mexico Czech Republic New Zealand Tibet Anybody from outside these areas is a good candidate, but extra priority goes to interested musicians working with sounds from: South America Africa Antarctica (?) Asia Middle East Eastern Europe Ok, the idea behind the compilation is to pick a city or city-sized area. (In other words, it does not have to be urban, but could be.) Gather some field recordings from that area, and create music from it. Any amount of post-processing is allowed, as long as the original material is field recordings from your area. The focus on this comp is to 1) Catalog sounds and music from different locations around the world. 2) Showcase the ideas, interpretations, techniques & approaches of the musicians creating the work. Here are the rules in short: 1) Time limit is 7 minutes. 2) No instrumentation of your own! All of the sound sources have to be from field recordings! 3) You can't record people performing to your commands. 4) You must provide your own photograph of the area you're representing. This will be used in the CD artwork. 5) I originally set the submission date for September 1st. That's today. (oops!) Anyway, I'm hoping to receive all the submissions within a month or two. 6) Submission formats: CD, Tape, Post on webpage, or transfer via ICQ. Sorry, I don't have the equipment for Minidisc or DAT submissions. The name of the disc will be "CT Project: Locations Vol. 2". The CT Project is a group of about 60 musicians from around the world that puts out themed compilations. We have a yahoo group and a webpage at http://loopxchange.com This is for an "amateur" compilation, meaning it will be on CD-R unless some experimental label finds they really like it and wants to distribute it. However, I am taking it very seriously, and it will be a nicely packaged, well-organized comp. (Volume 1 sounds excellent!) Otherwise, it'll be released under my own Ribosome Music. Each musician retains the rights to his/her piece. Thank you!
