AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

Submissions now open for a new quarterly event taking place in Edinburgh, UK.

This is the first in a series of intensive listening events, based around

event.

Pieces should comprise between one minute and eight minutes of audio.
There's no restriction on the type of material submitted - e.g. composed or

“We were always friends. But as happens with family members, between
friends, our relationship was getting worn out. [...] We didn’t explain you
our things. [...] We didn’t have you as students, friends, and talkers.
[...] And we also went through dubious paths, where art and beauty, and –
what is worse to us – the worship of God – weren’t always served well. Let’s
remake the peace?â€
