MULTIMEDIA SUBMISSIONS CLOSE JUNE 15, 2011

(TEXT AND AUDIO SUBMISSIONS NOW CLOSED)

It’s time to get to work in the home studio, get out those sequencers, hunt down the ancient fairlight, rev up the soundsystem. What’s in your sample library? Are you a digital fiddler or do you prefer some old school analogue tweaking? Are you a bit of a daft punk or would you prefer a dash of Eno?

We’re looking for poetry that plays with the idea of electronica – maybe you could call it IPM (intelligent poetry music). It could be your own work that is sampled and reprocessed, a dub version of classics, a poetry equivalent of trance, post-punk, old-fashioned synthpop, dark wave, trip-hop or even industrial. Or you might want to explore forms of ambient decomposition and diffusion.

Perhaps you’ve always wanted to pay homage to the progenitors of electronic music – Stockhausen, Babbitt, Varèse et al – or finally find own your inner Wendy Carlos, Aphex Twin or Jean-Michel Jarre. Because writing is sometimes like a tangerine dream, sometimes like poetry manoeuvres in the dark, sometimes block rockin’ beats.

[No microphones were used in this announcement.]

Submissions close April 30.
