Radio Music Gallery Call for Mixes
April 2, 2024
Playlists/mixes are a curatorial outlet; one that we wish to share with community members.
While it might seem like background music, we cherish the process of selecting and building a playlist/mix that can be pumped into performance spaces during doors and intermission at an event. A great playlist/mix can draw connections between artists, styles, and histories, and set the stage for deep listening and engaging with a performance.
We invite community members to submit existing or proposed playlists for inclusion during our upcoming programming. Two applications will be selected and their playlists/mixes will be featured at our What Is Spirituality festival (May 9, 10). The successful playlists/mixes will also be included in the monthly Radio Music Gallery program with FSR.
Submission Requirements
1) Choose between one of these two themes:
- Auditory Possibilities- What does it mean for sound to be a tool for sensation? How can it impact brain activity? When does sound and music feel expansive?
- Embodiment– What songs make you feel in/throughout your body? How can they make you move? How can they make you sit? What music makes you feel more you?
2) Show us what you’re thinking, you can either:
- Select 2 songs that represent the vibe of ONE of the prompts from above. Please only submit tracks via YouTube, SoundCloud or Bandcamp. Please DO NOT submit songs via Spotify.
- Submit a pre-recorded mix of yours that matches this vibe. Please DO NOT make a new mix for these prompts for the purpose of applying.
3) Submit a 100 word / 600 character (max) blurb about your thoughts behind your submission. Feel free to get creative here in your explanation. Describing why music is amazing is incredibly hard!

Successful applicants will receive a $100 CAD artist fee as well as 5 free tickets to the event featuring their playlist.
