This *may* be of interest to those of you who create their own music.

>breathing walls communications is *still* searching for
>a few more bands to be featured on an upcoming compilation
>release, primarily in the general areas of EBM, electro,
>indutrial, darkwave, ambient, whatever.

>here's how it will all work. 12 projects are needed in order for the
>compilation to work. each project provides a track, $200, and addresses of all
>the radio stations (that would play this type of music) in their area, clubs
>that would play it, and zines that would review it locally or nationally.
>projects will be required to mail in a demo for the track they wish to submit
>to the compilation. it's kind of a self promoting technique. this way, all
>the projects included will receive equal distribution around the u.s. and
>where ever else.
>
>there will be a total of 1000 CDs pressed. each submittor will receive 50
>CDs of their own to do with what they please. that's $4 per CD. if
>everybody decides to sell their copies for at least $5 a piece, they
>will more than break even. that leaves 400 CDs for breathing walls to
>distribute as promo releases, sent to all the project's contacts, as well
>as all of our contacts. an address will also be provided inside the CD
>for interested parties who may have heard the compilation, to order
>copies. a web page will also be setup for promoting and ordering the comp.
>
>if enough interest is generated, we might be able to split
>all the bands into a few different compilations right away.
>
>also, we are looking into doing a second comp if this first one works
>out as well as it's looking, more along the lines of trance-ish stuff.
>if you have any tracks more in that style, please send them as well.
>we have no objections to any interested parties being on both comps.
>
>also, please e-mail if you're affiliated with any zines, clubs,
>labels, radio stations, in short organizations that would be
>interested in receiving promo copies for playing or reviewing.
>
>thanx for the interest. if anyone knows anybody else that might
>be interested, please refer them to us.
