Clan Analogue is looking for submissions for its new compilation album, exploring the creative potential of field recordings in music-making.

Use only the sounds of your surroundings to craft a unique musical narrative. These could be from your home, neighbourhood, daily commute, favourite walk, natural location, or workplace. Any part of your sonic environment can be featured in this project.

Transform Field into Music

Feel free to reconfigure, edit, or manipulate your recorded sounds in any way that helps convey a narrative or evoke emotional meaning in your music. Techniques such as sampling, granular synthesis, sequencing, and tape manipulation are all welcome. However, please refrain from using synths or other instruments—your field recordings should be the sole sound source.

Preserve the Sense of Place

 We’re looking for musical tracks, not pure field recordings, but we encourage you to retain the sense of space and atmosphere your recordings represent.

Optional: Video Art

 You also have the option to document your environments through video and submit a corresponding video art piece alongside your music.

Along with your submission, please include details about where and when your sounds were recorded, as well as what production techniques were used to create your track.

Photos from the field are also encouraged.

Submit by: February 28th, 2025

Maximum track length: 6 min

Provide your track information and upload your audio file (WAV or AIFF) with any associated photos or video via this link

Grab your phone, field recorder, or any portable device and start documenting your sonic world!
