--About Pixel Palace--

Pixel Palace is currently developing BASIC.fm a new radio station that will host Broadcast Art, Sound & Independent Culture as a series of monthly audio streams.

BASIC.fm aspires to be a space that can be inhabited by artists, curators, thinkers and interesting people with something to share and will be gradually be populated with work, projects, shows and archived events.
 
--Call out for new commissions--

Pixel Palace is commissioning four new audio works for BASIC.fm. Each work will be hosted for a month on continuous play and the first commission will go live in November. We are seeking artists who use sound as a medium in unexpected, exciting and innovative ways. This may include work that may act in a similar way to hold music or radio and television test signals.

There is a one-off artist fee of £250 for each commissioned piece.

This call is open to all artists, musicians, field recordists and sonic artists regardless of nationality, age, or career stage.

    * Title and description of proposed audio work for BASIC.fm (100 words maximum)
