Dear Listeners,

You may have heard of - or been unfortunate to witness - the troubling disturbances in the UK a fortnight ago...

As part of a large-scale community project, and fundraiser and for those that has been affected by the recent disturbances in London and across the country, SoundFjord is working in collaboration with Audio Gourmet's Harry Towell with the assistance of Bartosz Dziadosz to produce an album created by the people for the people.

Once complete the album will be available as a download at the Audio Gourmet website. All monies will go towards assisting those that have lost their homes and livelihoods and to help provide opportunities for philanthropy, creative expression and collaboration within local community projects.

The project NEEDS your help!

We are gathering sounds and samples from artists, musicians phonographers and the general public all over the world. Audio Gourmet will then process/assemble them into an album.

All artists will get a free digital copy of the eventual album when it is complete. The album may also be made into a CD/CDR version.

The Brief:
1.) Sounds can be field recordings, the spoken word, instrument sounds, drone parts, static/noise, etc. N.B. The piece may be proceed by Audio Gourmet, based on aesthetic cohesion).
2.) Your submissions should be around A MINUTE or so.
3.) Please send AIFF/WAV files only via file transfer such as YouSentIt to info[at]soundfjord.org.uk
4.) Please also send details of your FULL NAME or TITLE as you'd wish to see them in print, along with your LOCATION, CONTACT DETAILS and WEBSITE.

DEADLINE is 05 SEPTEMBER 2011 - we're trying to get these in as quickly as possible so we can start fundraising ASAP!

N.B. We hope to work with most if not all material sent, however some sounds may not be suitable or simply may not physically fit on the compilation. In this instance will will try to use excerpts.

Thank you! - we look forward to receiving your recordings! PLEASE pass this info on to interested parties!
