Submissions wanted: Futonic Records IDM Tribute to Docking!

LOL Alzado · Post by **LOL Alzado** » Thu Sep 25, 2008 4:13 pm

Hello fellow electronic musicians.

Docking is probably the most IDM concept there is. What is Docking? You really need to experience it for yourself (or look it up). But, Docking is many things. It is a way for one vessel to find safety, to bind itself with another and experience the warmth and security of being directly connected. When lost at sea, the thought of being snuggly docked keeps hope alive in the hearts of distraught sailors. Docking is about new introductions and forming snug bonds. When you are staring eye to eye, you know that you are well docked.

So it is our duty, as artists, to come together and pay tribute to the strength and warmth that is Docking. By now, you know the drill, everyone makes tracks over the next several weeks, then we hand pick the best ones, and then we put together a compilation and release it. We've had much success (see Deep Sea Creatures by Various Artists and Black Holes by Various Artists at futonicrecords.com), but there is more work to do.

The details for the Docking compilation are as follows:

-We are looking for tracks inspired by and relevant to Docking.

-The deadline to submit your tracks is October 31st, 2008.

Sorry, I just don't understand. What is "docking", what do we have to do?
