Power/field compilation #2 - Call for Submissions - deadline oct 31

Tracks wanted for the second edition of Power/field compilation. Originally released in 2007, Power/field is a collection of recordings made "in the field" with processing on-site - ie pedals, laptops, acoustic phenomena. no post-processing allowed, only trimming and gain

explanation:
Traditional field recording captures ambient sound in various locations via microphone without any effects. Power/field recordings are field recordings made with effects processing units used (only) while on-site. The intent is to take experimental music practices outside of their traditional operating venues: composing studios and performance venues.

Aesthetically speaking, anything goes - the first edition contains a wide variety of drone, microsound, synth, and harsh noise. The recordings can come from a wide variety of musical practices - listen to the first compilation (link below) for examples. Random thought: it is possible to do this without electronics - i'm curious to hear what you might come up with if you are so inclined; however, it is suggested for all to listen to the first edition (links below) for examples of succesful submissions.

There is an honor system on the basic rules: the recording must be made outside of the studio or the stage; no overdubs except on-site; no re-processing; no edits. The submission can be an excerpt of a longer take, and basic normalizing of the levels it is fine. Track length 1-15 min preferred, multiple short tracks are fine to submit.

The final project will come out end of the year, edition of 200 CDrs. The first edition had 2 CDrs, as there were a ton of great submissions. Not sure of the packaging yet; the first edition packaging was cardboard sleeves from stumptown printers, hand-painted and screen-printed by myself.

The entire contents of the first edition can be found online here:

clarifying addendum:

anything that is recorded (with no post-processing) outside of the studio or stage (ie the comfort zones of creative action) is considered within the conceptual definitions of the project. tracks created specifically for this project are preferred; previously recorded, unreleased tracks that fit the framework are okay as well. previously released tracks will not be considered.

typical scenarios for succesful works: microphone feeding into a pedal and recorded direct; contact mic fed into a laptop and recorded direct; sounds played in an environment and recorded via mics; lathe records, cassettes, and circuit boards left outside all winter long.

typical unsuccesful scenarios: recorded freak folk / alt rock / post-war classical jams in someone's living room or an underground chamber. if you are playing sound into a space, consider the sources that you are generating, as well as the overall results, when deciding if they fit this project. listen to the recordings from the first release to get an idea of what i like.
