AETHERWAVES Vol. 5 - Submissions WANTED!

Hello everyone,

Our last four community albums AEther Waves Vol. 1 - 4 were an incredible success and were so much fun to produce. As in the previous years, we now have many new modules to play with and new artists who have joined our community, so let's do this again!

So here it is - we will be releasing another album - AEther Waves Vol. 5 and we want YOUR music to be on it!

Submissions due by midnight UTC, October 23rd

Submission Guidelines:

• Only new and previously unreleased material is allowed (please don't use that same track anywhere else after the release!)
• All sounds must be from the AE Modular (*), so no other synths or drum machines. Sampling, editing and arranging of AE Modular audio is allowed, of course.
• Maximum length 5 Minutes
• External effects may be used, such as reverb, delay, EQ, compressor, etc.
• State you artist name which will be listed with your track on Bandcamp
• State the track name which will appear on Bandcamp
• Provide an uncompressed .wav file using a file share service, eg. Dropbox, Google Drive or Wetransfer
• Make sure there is enough "headroom" in your recording so we can master it to fit in with all the other submissions. Best would be a level around -6dB.
• Provide a photo of your AE Modular setup and a short text description of your workflow and patch. Those would be added to your track information on Bandcamp.

Further to the above I would like to list all participating artists on the Meet the Artists Wiki page and for that I also need this additional info if you're not already on it:

• A link to your photo or logo
• A short bio or introduction (if you don't know how to write something that will put you in the best light, let me know, I can help you. I'm already your biggest fan!)
• All you social media links, eg. Youtube, Soundcloud, Bandcamp, Website, Facebook, Instagram, Discogs, Tumblr, ...
• One or two links to a video or other embeddable media of your favourite track as a teaser. If you don't have one, we can just embed your AEther Waves track
• Maybe a list of the gear you use in your "studio" including the AE Modular
• Any other notes you would like listed on your page

We will aim for a release on the 3rd of November (Bandcamp Friday) and will need about a fortnight for mastering of all files and creating the album on Bandcamp. Therefore please stick to the deadline!

Everyone who sends in a file by that date and adheres to the guidelines above will be on the album! It's a digital album so there is no limit to how many tracks we can have

All proceeds will again go to Musicians Without Borders, a fantastic non profit organisation that is using the power of music to bridge divides, connect communities, and heal the wounds of war.

Any thoughts, comments, suggestions or questions welcome! Please respond in this thread.

Cheers,
Carsten.
