What we look for

What we're looking for.

We invite composers, sound artists, researchers, engineers, educators, and practitioners working in music, audio technology, and related fields.

  • Writing grounded in direct experience — practice, research, or critical engagement with the subject.
  • Work that connects sound and music to other fields — technology, architecture, cognition, culture.
  • Process-based and documentary writing — how something was made, what was learned, what failed.
  • Texts that take a position — analysis or argument rather than neutral description.
Exemplary Topics

Writing on the Platform

Writing on the platform.

We want to enable a change of perspective between different groups of people — for example, between audio developers and musicians, audio enthusiasts and audio developers. We want not only professionals from the same field to understand each other, but for knowledge to be accessible across the boundaries of individual groups.

Online texts are different. Readers tend to scan and skip faster online. Therefore, online articles should have shorter paragraphs and more concise headlines. Images, audio files, or videos can complement the text content well.

Articles should be at least 4,000 characters. Longer pieces are welcome when the subject demands it.
