a call to musicians, sound artists, and phonographers for open sound
exchange: boston

musicians and sound artists of all kinds are invited to participate
in open sound exchange: boston, an opsound project which will take
place at art interactive gallery in cambridge, october 15 - december
11, 2005 as part of glowlab's open lab exhibition.

how to participate:

open sound exchange: boston is gathering material for an open pool of
sounds relating to the city. boston real and boston imaginary,
boston past and boston now: yelling cabbies, rat new wave, fenway
park crowds, sunday afternoon string quartets, harbor noises,
sidewalk folk singers, composers in red sneakers new music, banker
high heels, museum whispers, media lab algorithms, big dig
construction, student arias. every city is a world of sound – help
discover boston's by creating a kaleidoscopic sonic portrait.
contributions can include work from, about, or inspired by the idea
of boston. boston sounds, including field recordings from various
parts of the city, are already in the pool and available for
remixing. ( http://opsound.org/tag/boston )

anyone is welcome to add work to the sound pool, and all material for
the pool will be released under a creative commons license (the
"attribution-sharealike license"), a copyleft license in the spirit
of open source software licenses, which allows for all kinds of
copying, remixing, use, and reuse while retaining an attribution to
the original artist. sounds are not hosted directly by opsound, but
free hosting is available through the internet archive and other sites.

to contribute, simply sign up on the opsound site, add a band or
artist project, and tag your sounds with the word "boston."

your boston sounds will be used to create a special edition of the
opstream, a radio broadcast which streams 24/7 over the internet via
opsound.org. this boston pool will be offered in podcast form, and
also played at the gallery and on outdoor speakers, constantly
remixing itself with street sounds from the neighborhood.
