Open Call for Participants/Independent Labels SOUND//SPACE

SoundFjord is currently organising "SOUND//SPACE", a pop-up independent "record store + more", for the humongous V22
space at Bermondsey (South London), during their Summer Club, from May-July 2012.

The space will be a record store plus a cosy hub for conversation across genre (from experimental music and sound art, to free
jazz and exploratory music), SOUND//SPACE will showcase the most creative individuals and labels within the industry, and
will also feature talks, masterclasses, sound/music workshops and performances related to the labels involved.

SOUND//SPACE, as a centre for sonic exploration, will be a place to:

a.) buy independent and hand-made music and sound art.
b.) look at album covers and works curated by labels.
c.) meet like-minded individuals, artists/musicians, label owners, and to discuss interests.
d.) listen to sound samples from records, CDs and similar media.
e.) experience unusual live music and sound art.
f.) learn - via workshops and lectures.
g.) join in - via talks with artists and folk in the business.
h.) have fun, have a go!! e.g with instruments brought to the space e.g. theremin, synths, hand made instruments.

SoundFjord is eager to talk with:

- individuals making hand-made releases.
- independent labels that are interested in promoting/selling their releases in the shop.
- labels that would like to curate performances by artists signed to their labels.

SoundFjord is also interested in speaking to those who:

- produce workshops related to sound/music production; specific technologies/software; electronics; film-sound; Foley; field
recording; radio/podcasting; soundwalks; instrument making; or other skills/practices of interest.
- conduct lectures/talks on current trends in experimental music; alternative methodologies for music production e.g. visual
scores; cross cultural platforms; history of technology; ethnomusicology; or other matters of interest.
- are signed to independent labels, are free to perform during May-July, and are based in the UK (or who've funding to travel).
- are looking for arts administration and arts marketing experience!!
