SOUNDS GOOD: portraits of people enjoying music at home

This is a WIDE OPEN CALL for an upcoming publication by Drum Machine Editions. There are no submission fees. BIPOC, disabled persons, LGBTQ+, undocumented, chronically ill, immunocompromised, & marginalized creators of all ages are highly encouraged to apply.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR: images of people enjoying music at home or wherever they’re spending the pandemic. If you’re unhoused, an essential worker, or don’t have the privilege of remote work, maybe the music you overhear or listen to during your commute or on the job is what keeps you going. Whatever your situation is, we’d like to include your picture.

PROMPTS & POSSIBILITIES:

1. Before you start your shift at the grocery store, listen to your favorite pump-up jam and take a selfie. Send us that selfie.
2. Fire up some mood music while you bake your freezer pizza.
3. Take a blurry picture of your roommate dancing to Solange.
4. Put on your grandma's favorite record—do you know your grandma’s favorite record?—and photograph her when she begins telling you stories.
5. Start singing during a Zoom call, then take a series of screenshots.
6. If you’re quarantined alone, set up a tripod or something, get yourself in the frame, and blast Head Hunters (1973) by Herbie Hancock.
7. Ask the person delivering your wine what their favorite song is. Tip them generously, then listen to that song.
8. Stage a portrait of you with your instrument.

IMAGE QUALITY & PRINTING: this book will be risograph printed, so you should expect some loss in image quality. A far cry from traditional photo printing in CMYK, you should expect your images to look more like Xerox copies of themselves by the time they make it to the page. Maybe it’s an aesthetic; maybe it’s a consequence of an open call with no submission fees.

PLEASE SUBMIT THROUGH THIS FORM.
