For several months, I have been working on a project; a sound file that would represent the Astral Realm. It is quite large and clocks in over an hour. I would categorize it as an ambient piece; not something to listen to unless you wanted to relax or the like. With that being said, I would like to turn it into something completely different. Instead of me modifying and tweaking the audio design, I am going to give you the opportunity to work your magic.
If you are familiar with sound design, sound editing, or are a composer, I want to hear from you. The way I want this project to work is simple. Give you the file to do as you please (as long as it fits the general idea which I will discuss later in this post), pass that file to someone else to repeat the process, and so on; the final result being presented to the listeners and readers. All collaborators will be given proper credit. Ideally, this piece would be CD length and segmented for use in the Astral Audio Experience.
Guidelines
1. Any additional sounds, loops, or user generated material should fall under the Creative Commons license or be royalty-free. (The final result will be podsafe.)
2. The file should remain in the wav format until the final person mixes/edits it.
3. All additions will be sent via email to the email address specified at the end of this post.
4. While artists will have creative control over what goes into the file, it would be appreciated if musical tendencies are not heavily relied upon. The final product is to represent what the Astral Realm sounds like; therefore, this should have more of an other worldly and organic feel. Exceptions to the music would include drones and percussion elements.
5. Artists should keep in mind that we are looking for a somewhat dark atmosphere. Personally, the darker the better. However, it should be able to engage the listener with proverbial twists and multi-layered subtleties.
6. In the segmented version, listeners should be able to receive a different experience when the tracks are shuffled and randomly played.
7. A deadline will be determined once the group is formed.
8. This project is completely volunteer.
9. Have fun.
Additional Information
This art project, as stated earlier, is to represent another realm of existence in which our audio drama occupies more often than not. Some details about the Astral Realm can be found here. If interested in volunteering for this collaboration, please email me at auditions@astralaudio.net with either a sample of your work or link to your website where I can hear what you produce. The more people we can gather for this project, the better. Thanks for reading through this post, and I look forward to working with those who wish to contribute.
