We want to create a stand alone artefact to accompany our podcast Penny Drops : a curated compilation of songs, soundscapes, poems etc. We hope to offer a unique platform for experimental works that may not be given much coverage elsewhere. The compilation of works will be made into a mixtape of sorts that will be displayed online for FREE as well as being made into limited edition physical copies.

Penny Drops is an arts podcast based in Manchester which promotes the work of sound artists, musicians and poets. Penny Drops is a sister organisation of Penny Thoughts, a community interest organisation aimed to get art into the daily lives of as many people as possible, as well as publish artists and writers that may have never been published before. 

For our next project we want to create a stand alone artefact: a curated compilation of songs, soundscapes, poems etc. We hope to offer a unique platform for experimental works that may not be given much coverage elsewhere.

This is where you come in! We are looking for unsigned musicians and sound artists to take part in this project by submitting sound works of all persuasions, from experimental symphonies to field recordings. Nothing is off the cards. 

Once we have received all the submissions we will curate the collection of work to make it a cohesive compilation and begin the process of distribution around Manchester and potentially further afield. 

We will put the digital version of the mixtape online to stream and download for FREE and then at any Penny Drops/Penny Thoughts events we do in the future, we will sell limited edition physical versions of the mixtape. (All proceeds will go back into the running of our organisation) 

If you have any more questions about the project or what we do in general then do not hesitate to ask.

We hope to hear from you soon!
