AEther Waves Vol. 2 - production thread ..

Hello everyone,

Last year we released our first community album AEther Waves Vol. 1 which is still one of my top ten albums to listen to and was incredibly fun to produce. A few people came a bit late to the party and missed out, or better, we missed out on hearing their work! And now more and more people are asking for a second round.

So here it is - we will be releasing another album - AEther Waves Vol. 2 and we want YOUR music to be on it!

Please submit your music with an email to the5thvolt(at)gmail.com and follow these 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
• 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 in November and will need about 2 weeks for mastering of all files and creating the album on Bandcamp. Therefore I suggest the following

Submission Deadline: 20th of October 2020

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

Any thoughts, comments, suggestions or questions welcome!
