deadline for submissions Friday 14th September 2007

folly, a leading digital arts organisation working in Lancashire,
Cumbria and online, is developing ArtCast, an ongoing series of
podcasting programmes at www.folly.co.uk, as a platform for public
access to new and innovative sound art. 

Building on the success of OWN [SOUND] ART (2007) at
www.folly.co.uk/soundnetwork, a series of podcasts specially
commissioned in partnership with SoundNetwork, folly intends to deliver
a quarterly series of podcasts exploring the possibilities of the
medium, and will launch the first in this series as part of VELOCITY,
folly's second Festival of Digital Culture - www.folly.co.uk/velocity

folly is calling for open submissions of existing audio work, from the
broad spectrum of contemporary sound art practice.  Submissions should
address themes and subjects broadly relating to the ethos of VELOCITY,
including but not limited to: travel, movement, landscape, engagement
with communities, rural sustainability.

VELOCITY will take place on and around the rail route from Lancaster to
Barrow-in-Furness in the North West of England, so folly is looking for
podcastable content which can be downloaded and experienced on journeys
through and around this area. As part of the festival, folly is also
keen to broadcast selected works via the loud speaker systems at
stations along the rail route.

Submissions are welcome from all artists working with sound,
experimental musicians and composers, writers and performance artists
etc, basically anyone who has created work which they consider to be
suitable for an audio podcast.

Sonic Arts Network, www.sonicartsnetwork.org, will join folly in the
selection of works in late September 2007
