[Commlist] CfP Riffs Vol 3 Issue 2: Music Festivals

*Call for Proposals*

*The fiesta was really started. It kept up day and night for seven days. 
The dancing kept up, the drinking kept up, the noise went on. The things 
that happened could only have happened during a fiesta. Everything 
became quite unreal finally and it seemed as though nothing could have 
any consequences. It seemed out of place to think of consequences during 
the fiesta. All during the fiesta you had the feeling, even when it was 
quiet, that you had to shout any remark to make it heard. It was the 
same feeling about any action. It was a fiesta and it went on for seven 
days.*

**/The Sun Also Rises/, Ernest Hemingway.

*We invite you to consider music festivals through this quote from /The 
Sun Also Rises /and in relation to notions of liminality, of repetition, 
the real and the unreal, festival and noise, time and perception.*

As the journal title suggests, we are interested in pieces that take an 
experimental approach to the consideration of popular music. For 
examples of pieces based on previous prompts, have a look through our 
current and past issues, available to download from our website –

We encourage experimental audio, visual and written contributions, from 
composition to poetry. Up to ten contributions (to include visual 
contributions up to six pages of A4) will be published online and in 
limited edition print in November 2019.
