[microsound] Re: Call for audio submissions - Linux Open Source Sound CD

[derek holzer <derek@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Jake,

yes! very much! thanks for posting this. I'm also interested to see who 
else submits work. I imagine it will be quite a blend of genres, if the 
acts from the last Linux Audio conference in Karlsruhe are any 
indication. Everything from German techno to German electroacoustic. 
Well, it *was* in Germany, anyway... ;-)

best,
d.

We hope to receive submissions covering a broad and eclectic range of styles, to represent the dynamic nature of contemporary open source audio culture. Therefore, contributions are invited from musicians of all types, programmers, sound artists or artists who use sound.
