Are you a musician, singer, storyteller, activist - or simply someone moved by the relationship between water and climate change?

Join our new global project Flow, which seeks to tell the diverse stories of water through music, by submitting your sounds of water.

More info: www.earthsonic.org/flow
The title ‘Flow: call out for submissions’ against a background image of flowing water, with the EarthSonic logo and url earthsonic.org The text reads “We are inviting submissions of sounds of water, which will be made available for use by the artists creating the album. Your sounds could be featured on these brand new tracks, woven into the music that carries water’s stories to the world.” The background is a black and white image of a man shaking water from his head. A text block on a blue-green gradient background reads “Call out for submissions: This could be: * A musical piece using water or inspired by it * A sound from an instrument * A raw audio recording of a stream, rain, or ocean * A story, poem, wisdom or call to action * A sound from your instrument that speaks of water’s essence We welcome contributions from all backgrounds, countries, cultures and communities.” Background shows abstract, wave-like patterns in grayscale.
