CALL FOR SONIC SUBMISSIONS

*** While DIAGRAM continues to read regular
submissions, we are looking for sonic work for an
upcoming issue.

In the fall of 2003, DIAGRAM will publish a special
edition devoted to the intersection of text and sound.
This is a call for artists/musicians/writers working
in sound to submit sound art for consideration. 

Submissions may include spoken word, field recordings,
abstraction, electronic or acoustic music, [insert any
other shorthand description of sound exploration you
please], or any combination thereof, so long as it
addresses in some way, our interests: In oddness. In
representations, naming, indicating, schematics,
signs, indices, and obituaries. In the labeling and
taxonomy of things. In sound work that engages in
dialog; takes language or poetry or narrative as its
subject, object, or referent, master or servant;
addresses the language at the morpheme, phoneme,
handsign, lips and tongue-level.

The usual DIAGRAM criteria also apply.

WE WANT sound pieces that engage the mechanics of
meaning/poetry; the processes / of things, both inner
and outer; of sound-image, confused, manipulated and
otherwise; pieces that demonstrate rather then
explain; point and uncover rather than demolish; how
things become. How they expire. How they move or
churn, or stand. Send us sound analogous to
annotations, schematics, poems, sentence diagrams,
definitions. Translate into/from sound.

PARAMETERS

Submissions must be received by Sep 1, 2003. 

Please limit pieces to 3-4 minutes in length. Audio
vignettes and cameos. 

We prefer electronic submissions but will accept data
files on CD-Rs, too (.wav, .aif, or high resolution
stereo mp3s). Send zipped high resolution stereo mp3
files to <earache@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>.

All submissions should be accompanied by a brief
artist's bio and a 'statement of intent' addressing
the sound work.
