>Hi
>Linux users may be interested in this.
>best,
>Jake
>--------------------------------------------
>CALL FOR AUDIO SUBMISSIONS
>
>Linux Open Source Sound CD (L.O.S.S.)
>
>[Planned release date - April 2005]
>
>Deadline for submissions: 07-Jan-05
>
>Access Space, Sheffield's lowtech digital arts organisation, is
currently
calling for submissions for a CD of audio produced with open
source software, and the Linux operating system.
>
>There is no specific theme for the curated works, as the concept behind
the
project is freedom of all elements of music manufacture,
encapsulating style, production software and distribution
>techniques. We hope to receive submissions
covering a broad and
eclectic range of styles, to represent the dynamic nature of
>contemporary open source audio culture. Therefore,
contributions are
invited from musicians of all types, programmers, sound artists
or
artists who use sound.
>
>The LOSS CD is to be released under a Creative Commons 'Sampling Plus'
license, so as well as being produced with free software, the CD will
also extend the ethos of the open source movement into its method of
distribution. For more information about this license, please visit
http://creativecommons.org.
>
>Please do not submit tracks if you are not willing to release your work
in this
manner.
>
>The LOSS project will develop not only through the CD release, but also
through
a website, aimed at being an ongoing portal for
>producers of open source music to showcase their
work. This will also
offer the works for redistribution under the Creative Commons
licensing
mentioned above. This website will be online later in the year at
http://www.access-space.org/loss.
>
>
>How to submit your proposal:
>
>[A maximum of 2 tracks per artist, each between 20 seconds and 8
minutes in
length.]
>
>Send a DATA CD containing the following files:
>
>- Your audio track(s) in .wav format, 16bit, 44.1khz in either mono or
stereo.
>- A text document stating your name, contact
details (email and mailing
address), track title, track length, the software and
>operating system used for producing the track, and
a declaration that
your track does not infringe any copyrights or use any
>unlicensed material.
>- An optional screenshot (in .jpg or .png format) of your software
setup -
which may be used for artwork purposes.
