CALL - Soundart for Sound of Ebb

Call for entries
Deadline: 31 August 2009
http://theendofsomething.wordpress.com/sound-of-ebb/

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 any terms of
usage or creative licensing you would like to apply. i.e. Creative Commons
