SoundCrawl welcomes new media submissions from composers, video artists, sound engineers, sound artists & tinkerers from every corner of the world. If it’s adventurous, beautiful, artistic and “plugs in.” we’d love to hear it! Video works, installation art and live performances are also welcome.
Length: 15 minutes or less.
GENRES: We accept anything in a fixed digital file, and try to cover our bases for the streams of activity as we see them: synthesis, music concrete, soundscapes & poetry. We also present video art, interactive pieces/installations, and live performances.
FILE TYPE: only .aif audio files titled LASTNAME_TITLE.aif will be accepted. Multichannel works should be clearly labeled and sent in a .zip folder.
Video files should be .mov files also titled LASTNAME_TITLE.mov
RESIDENCY: there is no residency requirement.
FEES: there is a $5 fee per work submitted.
DISTINCTIVES: SoundCrawl presents the technical specifications of each work selected. Please provide information regarding DAW platform, plugin families, make and model of microphones, etc.
RIGHTS/PERMISSIONS: We produce audio compilations of every festival for sale to help offset costs. We also stream selected works online, and are developing additional avenues to make these incredible works available to an even broader audience. We ask for your permission to include your submitted works in these efforts. We remain committed to the livelihood of our artists through media exposure and commissions, but have found that the administrative costs far outweigh the benefits of managing and distributing royalties. (We tracked and paid royalties our first year and no artist was due more than $1 USD) If you are an artist with representation or an existing distribution deal, feel free to opt out, and we will honor your contracts by omitting your work from the compilations.

DEADLINE: The Call for Works is open until July 1st, 2012. Submitting artists will be notified by September 1st, 2012 and are welcome to attend.
