The Sampler Audiozine – Call for proposalsGuest Editor
The Sampler is launching a new opportunity and looking for proposals for a brand new Audiozine where we are looking to commission three pilot episodes.
The Sampler Audiozine will be a series of short, 7-12 minute audio episodes which aim to capture what’s happening out in the new and experimental music world. We want The Sampler Audiozine to be responsive to new trends, moving fluidly with what’s going on and showcasing those at the heart of the new music scene.
We are looking for commission three audiozine episodes, paid at £175 per episode, to be released in the next two months.
Application Deadline: Monday 31 May 2021 at 11:59pm – see below for requirements and link to application form.
The Sampler goes out and into the world bringing you close to the people who make it and the latest in new and experimental music. Rather than a polished, long-form podcast, we’re looking for is shorter, rough-around-the-edges, responsive audio content that listeners can engage with on the walk to the shops or on the way back from a gig.
Each episode should include some music and sound, either pre-recordings or real-world recordings (field recordings, gigs, albums, etc). Audiozines should respond to current topics, issues, or trends and could be in various formats, such as:
The Audiozines will be published on The Sampler Soundcloud page and it will be shared across The Sampler and Sound and Music social media channels and newsletters, with over 50k combined followers.
The fee is set to £175 per episode, and we anticipate it will take the equivalent of one day’s work to complete an episode. These first three commissions will also receive £25 for an evaluation of the process and your feedback will help us set a benchmark and shape this opportunity for the future.
