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.
