about

Cover: Composition of Circles and Overlapping Angles
Sophie Taeuber-Arp (Swiss, 1889-1943) (detail)

the following was the text of the call for submissions:

hardly a week goes by without another black circle release.

this is a call to arms over the exogamy of the instrument, a declaration of sonic slightly-angryness at the idea of meaning and form.

this compilation has rules, this compilation has feedback, this compilation uses no input in it’s truest form.

these are our rules, you have until the 31st of January to make something of them:

1. no samples
2. no instruments
3. no titles which impart meaning
4. minimal physical interaction

we call on the spirits of van Doesburg, Malevich, Mondrain, Taeuber-Arp. We call for Abstraction, we call for music free of any association with the classical tradition, free of composition.

this is not a no-input compilation.

thank you.
