AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

Call for Contribution! Sound of Ebb: An open source sound series

Call for Contributions > Submit a Sound!

Sound of Ebb is an open source sound series that calls for reflection on
the global crisis by sound artists and artists working with sound to
respond to the question:

What is the sound of Recession?

Artists are asked to create a work or sound recording that responds to
the current economic, social and political climate. Pieces can be field
recordings, compositions, radio plays, soundscapes, or even songs and
pieces of music.. etc. They can be conceptual, personal, critical,
creative or interpretive.

A moment of recession remarks a deceleration and slowing down –
opening up to a space for reflection. When a tide recedes into a breathe
of idleness, it leaves a moment for contemplation and listening to the
sounds of the Self, of Others and the Environment. In a state of lull is
there opportunity forge new values, forms of solidarity, closer familial
ties, and explore healthier modes of consumption? Is there value within
a moment of quietude and reflection to explore new possibilities for the
future?

Sound of Ebb is an open project for contribution and interpretation. All
works will be uploaded to online for free listening and sharing.
Selected submissions will be exhibited and distributed in a free
downloadable compilation by LOUDSPKR and Sound and Music. Please specify
