Auricular Audio Magazine is a series of experimental, ambient,
soundart music compilations with a unique 20 year history and
featuring a worldwide roster of musicians. After a many year hiatus
and several brand new releases on the Auricular label, we have decided
to resurrect the Auricular Audi Magazine series and begin work on
number 13 in hopes of a June release. The releases will be available
as both CDr and digital distribution through popular online sites
(iTunes, Amazon, Rhapsody etc etc).
DEADLINES
There is no deadline as the production of Auricular Audio Magazine
volumes will be ongoing.
MEDIA QUALIFICATIONS
We will accept media of any length, however, if your piece is more
than 6 minutes we might (but might not) ask you to edit the piece or
resubmit an excerpt of the song. The desired length of each piece is
approximately 4-5 minutes long but we do make exceptions - sometimes
even absurd ones.
You submission may include artwork, slideshows, short films, digital
media files (essays, flash files, documents). Our release will be
available as a Hybrid CDr (digital media and audio) when necessary but
non-audio CD will not be available in digitally distributed versions -
we will build a web component for each release and include this
material when possible for purchasers of the digital download format.
GENRES (audio)
Experimental, Ambient, Dark Ambient, Industrial, Noise, Soundart,
Electronic, Electronica, CLassical, Jazz, Progressive - We have
included many many genres and never dissuade anything in particular
however, we rarely include a "rock" or "pop" piece.
MEDIA USE AND CHANGES
We reserve the right to master your piece before we publish it. If we
require any "edits" we will ask you to do them.
You retain all copyrights and ownership to your songs. Therefore, you
must own your songs to submit them.
PHYSICAL SUBMISSION FORMAT
Although - to be kind to the earth - we prefer digital
submissions...Please clearly mark your submsission with your artist
name, the names of the songs, and the order of the songs.
Include a required cover sheet. It must have, at a minimum:
* These words: "Submission Auricular Audio MAgazine"
* Your project name
* Your name

* Your signature and the date
Also, you may include other optional information:

We accept submissions on CD (audio or data), or AIFF/WAV/MP3/digital
format (http, ftp, email).
URGENT MP3 submission note: Do not encode your MP3's at 128kbps. This
is inadequate for CD-Quality. You should encode your song at an
absolute minimum of 256kbps. If your encoder has a "quality" setting,
put in on the BEST quality setting.
