a call to musicians, sound artists, and phonographers for open sound  
exchange: boston

musicians and sound artists of all kinds are invited to participate  
in open sound exchange: boston, an opsound project which will take  
place at art interactive gallery in cambridge, october 15 - december  
11, 2005 as part of glowlab's open lab exhibition.

how to participate:

open sound exchange: boston is gathering material for an open pool of  
sounds relating to the city.  boston real and boston imaginary,  
boston past and boston now:  yelling cabbies, rat new wave, fenway  
park crowds, sunday afternoon string quartets, harbor noises,  
sidewalk folk singers, composers in red sneakers new music, banker  
high heels, museum whispers, media lab algorithms, big dig  
construction, student arias.  every city is a world of sound -- help  
discover boston's by creating a kaleidoscopic sonic portrait.   
contributions can include work from, about, or inspired by the idea  
of boston.  boston sounds, including field recordings from various  
parts of the city, are already in the pool and available for  
remixing.  ( http://opsound.org/tag/boston )

anyone is welcome to add work to the sound pool, and all material for  
the pool will be released under a creative commons license (the  
"attribution-sharealike license"), a copyleft license in the spirit  
of open source software licenses, which allows for all kinds of  
copying, remixing, use, and reuse while retaining an attribution to  
the original artist.  sounds are not hosted directly by opsound, but  
free hosting is available through the internet archive and other sites.

to contribute, simply sign up on the opsound site, add a band or  
artist project, and tag your sounds with the word "boston."

your boston sounds will be used to create a special edition of the  
opstream, a radio broadcast which streams 24/7 over the internet via  
opsound.org. this boston pool will be offered in podcast form, and  
also played at the gallery and on outdoor speakers, constantly  
remixing itself with street sounds from the neighborhood.
