Hello everyone, Our last three community albums AEther Waves Vol. 1 - 3 were an incredible success and were so much fun to produce. We now have many new modules to play with and new artists who have joined our community, so I thought it's time we try this again! So here it is - we will be releasing another album - AEther Waves Vol. 4 and we want YOUR music to be on it! SUBMISSIONS NOW CLOSEDSubmission Guidelines: - Only new and previously unreleased material is allowed (please don't use that same track anywhere else after the release!)
- All sounds must be from the AE Modular (*), so no other synths or drum machines. Sampling, editing and arranging of AE Modular audio is allowed, of course.
- Maximum length 5 Minutes
- External effects may be used, such as reverb, delay, EQ, compressor, etc.
- State you artist name which will be listed with your track on Bandcamp
- State the track name which will appear on Bandcamp
- Provide an uncompressed .wav file using a file share service, eg. Dropbox, Google Drive or Wetransfer
- Make sure there is enough "headroom" in your recording so we can master it to fit in with all the other submissions. Best would be a level around -6dB.
- Provide a photo of your AE Modular setup and a short text description of your workflow and patch. Those would be added to your track information on Bandcamp.
Further to the above I would like to list all participating artists on the Meet the Artists Wiki page and for that I also need this additional info if you're not already on it: - A link to your photo or logo
- A short bio or introduction (if you don't know how to write something that will put you in the best light, let me know, I can help you. I'm already your biggest fan!)
- All you social media links, eg. Youtube, Soundcloud, Bandcamp, Website, Facebook, Instagram, Discogs, Tumblr, ...
- One or two links to a video or other embeddable media of your favourite track as a teaser. If you don't have one, we can just embed your AEther Waves track
- Maybe a list of the gear you use in your "studio" including the AE Modular
- Any other notes you would like listed on your page
We will aim for a release on the 4th of November (Bandcamp Friday) and will need about a fortnight for mastering of all files and creating the album on Bandcamp. Therefore please stick to the deadline! Everyone who sends in a file by that date and adheres to the guidelines above will be on the album! It's a digital album so there is no limit to how many tracks we can have  All proceeds will again go to Musicians Without Borders, a fantastic non profit organisation that is using the power of music to bridge divides, connect communities, and heal the wounds of war. Any thoughts, comments, suggestions or questions welcome! Please respond in this thread. Cheers, Carsten. (*) User spriteguard made a good case for inclusion of external instruments whereby the AE acts as effects processor and/or sequencer. This will now also be allowed. |

Does rule 2 preclude using sound sources coming into an I/O port? One core part of my sound is running an instrument into 4I/O and treating it like an extra oscillator. Would that be too much?
You can see me doing it here, the instrument (which works similarly to an electric guitar) feeds into a filter and VCA that are driven by the TRIQ.

I'm still in the phase of overthinking my sound design then scrapping every recording and trying to come up with something 2 hours before the deadline.  |

what are the thoughts on @spriteguards question.
not my call obviously, if it's actual sound coming in it probably wouldn't fit the scope but if the instrument was acting like a sequencer and changing pitch of an internal oscillator etc then that would be ok is my thinking.
Edit: Also I'm all for inclusion rather than exclusion so I'm all for it being ok, especially since it is a big part of your sound. Would hate for you not to do a track.

I think electro-accoustic instruments are fine. I feel like a perfectly valid use-case for an AE system is as a creative effects processor.

Yes, the bullet is bitten. No more second guessing or I'll never release. Tonight I submit my track. No black boxing this time, and no multitracking. |

Just completed my application form, song shorter than I intended but I'm no good at padding!

I have an idea but I'm probably going to have to wait until the weekend to patch it all together.

I love what spriteguard is doing and it would be cool to have something like this on the album. Just please make sure that you describe in the patch notes which parts are AE and which are from external gear. |

I submitted mine. Thanks for the opportunity, it was fun again. I had prepared another one, which you may find on soundcloud.com/winterer/the-dirac-sea - I decided against this, because the submitted one felt better (today). For those interested: This is mainly Wonkystuff's version of Kaestle (2 instances), used very slow, and I think the Nyle Filter was involved very much, with manual knob fiddling around it's resonance. The strange rhythmic noises were some error sounds from a former patch, I liked them very much and they had been recorded separately. Non-AE: only VSTs for FX etc (mostly Supermassive). |

I just submitted mine too 😊 As krakenkraft said above, thanks for the opportunity!
It's really fun to work on a collaborative project like this and I can't wait to hear all the other submissions.
It was a struggle to call it done and move on rather than keep tweaking it but I'm pretty happy with the result, I hope you'll like it too.
