submission request for 2nd lowercasesound compilation

["Russell, Josh (JC)" <jcrussell@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

hi,

bremsstrahlung recordings is now accepting submissions for another
compilation of lowercasesound.  there have been some nice descriptions of
lowercasesound on this list recently but just thought i'd reiterate in case
some people deleted those posts.

"background: 
the lowercasesound list server was created by james coleman in early 1999 to
create "a unmoderated discussion & announcement list concerning a disparate
group of musics, sound art & listening experiences that emphasize or include
some or all of the characteristics of low volume, silence,
soundscape/environmental/field recordings, indeterminacy, psycho/acoustic
treatments of space, environment & context & possible relationships of this
work to art in other media i.e. painting, drawing & film & poetry. " 
  

excerpt from cd compilation liner notes: 
" 'lowercasesound', a term coined by steve roden in an interview last year,
is obliquely self-explanatory.   this compilation represents artists from
across the world who place committed listening at the top of the creative
musical process.  it is in this moment of pure attention that one's sense of
self simultaneously disappears and swells to encompass the surroundings.  by
composing for this type of listening (good headphones at high volume
recommended) these artists force the listener to pay focused attention to
sound.  after a couple times through this set you may discover for yourself
that compositions are all around you at every moment, the hum of the
refrigerator, the refuge truck backing up in the alley, a plastic bag
trapped in the fence rustling...'the only thing that is not art is
inattention' said Marcel Duchamp, and now you too are paying attention."
--liner notes to lowercase compilation 

"'lowercase music' bears "...a certain sense of quiet and humility; it
doesn't demand attention, it must be discovered. The work might imply one
thing on the surface but contain other things beneath. It's the opposite of
capital letters - loud things which draw attention to themselves. [Morton]
Feldman is the perfect lowercase music; it seems
serene, but there is much going on beneath the quiet exterior." --s.roden
