With apologies for the relatively short notice, I wanted to make sure I publicly announced our call for submissions for Ball of Wax 51: Long songs!
I love (and sometimes make) long-form music, but when I get a lot of great submissions for any particular volume, such tracks often tend to get the first cut, just due to space considerations. So I’ve decided to have one volume that is not an audio CD, devote it to long works, and make it however damn long I please! (We’ll either do a data disc of MP3s with full-quality download, or just the usual packaging with only a download code; I welcome your feedback/ideas.)
What does “long” mean? Let’s say 10-30 minutes per track. (Oh lord, what am I getting myself into?)
Oh, and when I say “songs,” I don’t really mean just songs. We’re quite open to/expecting droney/minimalistic/
Bring ’em on!
Deadline: January 14th (give or take)
