THE FLAT FOUR SAMPLE CHALLENGE!

Flat Four is issuing a challenge to lots of interesting artists and producers that we know - and to you too!

The challenge is this: Take the set of samples we're giving you, and put together a piece of music, or a radio piece, or sound art, using those samples. We'll play some of our favourite submissions on the station.

• You don't have to use all the samples - but use a good few of them.
• Feel free to manipulate or distort the samples, and feel free to use other samples and other sound sources. The samples need to be a significant part of the finished work, but they don't necessarily have to be the majority of what we hear.
• The length of the piece is up to you, but let's say we're expecting things between about 1 minute and about 10 minutes.
• Your piece could be music, or a radio play, or sound-art, or investigative journalism... surprise us!

You can download the samples as a zip file (it's about 8 megabytes), or you can access them separately here.

Ideally we like to receive submissions in the post, on CD/Minidisc/cassette (our address is here), but if you want to email us a submission get in touch and we'll tell you where to email it to.

Flat Four Radio will broadcast a selection of finished pieces - watch this space.

 

About copyright:

1. The audio samples are free - do what you want with them.
2. By submitting a piece to Flat Four you're giving us complete permission to broadcast, publish, or otherwise redistribute the piece via any medium, including internet radio and CD.
3. You're also certifying that we wouldn't infringe anyone else's copyright by broadcasting your submission. That's really important - please don't submit things which remix/sample other people's work without their permission....
