AUX CD and Event 2 (updated 10-04-06)

Published Thursday, September 28, 2006 by Jeff | E-mail this post

Heather McIntosh (The Instruments, Circulatory System) this year helped organize the release of AUX, a CD compilation of experimental music from Athens, and the AUX Event at Athica, a one-day festival featuring live experimental performances by artists such as Black Swan Network, Vortex of Withering, and Lorkakar.

Now Heather has announced that she is organizing a second CD compilation and another AUX event, and she's accepting submissions. Please note that she is accepting submissions for all media, not just audio recordings. According to her MySpace blog, Heather is looking for "sounds, video, dance, book arts, puppetry arts, installation, straight up visual arts, what have you." Send your submissions to hmcinstrument@gmail.com.

UPDATE: Heather has confirmed to Optical Atlas that they are accepting submissions for the AUX 2 CD from non-Athens residents. They are also accepting submissions from non-residents for the live event, but with the caution that the budget for the event is "shoestring"--in other words, don't expect to be flown in if your work gets accepted. Finally, they are looking for volunteers for the AUX event; contact Heather at the email above if you are interested.
