At TheUnbrokenCircle web site, we've been keen to
support new folk and experimental acoustic music and have focussed on this in
2005 with our new blog, section on British wyrd folk, features pages etc.
I would now like to increase this coverage further
with a page that collects together a single track per artist of their choosing
that they feel represents them. I will then put this up with supporting
information for people to hear in real time at the site (but not download). This
page will then contain links to the site of the artists choosing for either more
information or to buy your works. There's nothing in it for our site other than
just helping people hear great music. The track can be off an album, old,
exclusive, a different mix, whatever you choose.
We encourage all artists working in the folk /
psychedelic folk / pagan folk / instrumental landscape / drone music /
experimental acoustic etc area to get involved (without trying to define it too
narrowly, if we're useful to you feel free to use us). The kind of music we're
including is....
1. folk derived music, wyrd folk, free folk,
psychedelia and so on.
2. progressive traditional folk music with folklore
aspects
3. experimental acoustic music
4. electronic music about or mixing in environment,
nature sounds, folk customs etc.
5. earth drones......
6. tribal, ritualistic freak out soundscapes
We hope it will increase
your profile and of course, sales. We are read by a number of labels so it also
might help emerging artists find an outlet and audience.
To get involved all you need to go is email me at
lordofmisrule@theunbrokencircle.co.uk.
All we ask is
1. either via internet (we're on
broadband so it's okay to email music files)
2. or on a normal CD or CDr
you send a sample track either on CD or via internet
as a single MP3 / WMA
file of your choosing. Please also provide us with the details of artist,
title, album (where appropriate) and web link or email and year.
You don't have to be published or to have a formal
label though record labels small and large are welcome to get involved (as are
established artists). I promise there will be no commercial exploitation of the
track and all rights will be reserved to the copyright holder.
Let's make this a success and promote a great area
of music that is worthy of more attention. Please email me and get in touch to
express interest or send a file straight away. Feel free to forward this message
on to anyone who might be interested and as always to get in touch.
Sincere thanks to every artist and label who is
working with us on this.
