CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: Ambient Online Compilation | Volume 13

 

A few of you know I have being involved with the Ambient Online forum for ages appearing on quite a few of their comp albums under my ambient drone band Ocean in a Bottle - always enjoy doing it as it allows me to experiment with form and ideas.

A new posting on there has showed the following which may well interest ambient / drone artists

"It's finally that time again!! Ambient Online Compilation, Volume 13. In honor of Leo season which is now upon us, I'm going to suggest a theme for this one. A theme which not only fits the season, but one we all know and love, the Sun! Sticking to the theme is not required, since this isn't really a "themed" compilation, but think of it as a loose guideline. I hope you guys are staying inspired and that this theme guides you to bring out some amazing sonic creations.

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS:

1.) You can submit up to 2 tracks per bi-monthly compilation. Please limit each track to 10 minutes.

2.) Brand new tracks specifically made for these compilations are highly preferred. The main impetus behind our new format is to encourage you to produce and participate more regularly.

3.) Tracks should be unmastered (leaving headroom between -3dB and -9dB below 0 on the master fader). Mastering services will be provided.

4.) Please use .wav, .aif, or .flac file format. No mp3s! (NOTE: 96kHz sample rate will no longer be accepted. Please submit your file in 16 or 24 bit, 44.1kHz.)

5.) Please include your ARTIST NAME before the track title in the file name. (Artist_Track_Title.wav).

6.) Please do not submit already released and/or copyrighted material. This includes both samples and/or previously released tracks on other labels.

TO SUBMIT YOUR TRACK: Upload it somewhere (Dropbox, WeTransfer, or Google Drive) and send me (S1gnsOfL1fe) the link via private message.

SUBMISSIONS DUE: Sunday, August 22nd 2021

Cheers,

Chris | S1gns Of L1fe"

Unlike previous times, it appears this time you will need to sign up to the forum to send in a submission as a PM to Chris.
