We're looking for a few more submissions to finish out the last month of our sound project.

This audio project, RadioVillageNomade, has been running since May 2008 using material contributed by invited artists and sound manipulators from all over the world. The "transmission" at this point is via our website, where a new mp3 is posted daily. The mp3s are available for download with the intention that they be reused as raw material for new submissions. Selected pieces are also being broadcast on French and German public radio. At the end of the 214 days we will weave all submissions into a 24 hour audio play.
The aim of this project is to cultivate works out of sounds which were designed without the intent to distinguish themselves from others, sounds that highlight the ever changing moments that make up our collective realities. Each day's piece will be a "window" into a life and sound world different than our own.

In general, as few restrictions as possible are imposed. We ask that artists define for themselves what constitutes a moment in time and how that might be captured as audio. Submissions should be mp3 files, 7 seconds to 7 minutes in length, encoded at 320 kbps. Please avoid merely posting tracks from albums; music is not discouraged but the composition should relate to a moment. Field recordings (altered or unaltered) are encouraged, as are sound compositions.

RadioVillageNomade is one of many ongoing projects taking place at Laboratoire Village Nomade (www.jourparjour.net). The projects here revolve around the idea that no moment is the same, each transitory moment is special in it's own way and can be appreciated as such. RadioVillageNomade attempts to capture these moments as they are perceived by one person to be shared with anyone who wants to listen. The idea is to have a "window of sound", a glimpse into another reality seen (heard) from another viewpoint (listenpoint?).

We hope that you will consider creating and submitting a piece of work for our project. Please feel free to pass this information along, or recommend to us anyone you know who might be interested.
