Greetings:

DIVIDED is presently accepting submissions for a series of several
compilations to be released beginning in the spring and summer of
next year.  Any composer working in the electronic / electroacousitic
/ Computer music fields are welcome to submit compositions for
consideration.  DIVIDED was founded a year ago to pursue lesser known
composers worldwide and give greater exposure to this genre of music.
Recently we released "Scend" by Jim O'Rourke and are expecting the
release of new works by Jean-Francois Denis early in 1993.

PRESENCE is DIVIDEDs ongoing compilation project. Each compact disc
released will contain several composers. All compositions submitted
should be on DAT and may not be longer than fifteen minutes each. The
deadline to submit entries for the initial CD is January 31st 1993. A
properly self-addressed stamped envelope should be included to
retrieve one's master tape.


We believe the copyrights should remain with the composers. The
production rights shall be given to DIVIDED while the CD is in print
and a contract will be drawn allowing composers fifteen percent of
the wholesale price of each CD.



By assembling these compilations we wish to bring to listeners new
works by international composers which are artistically innovative
and dynamic as well as emotionally engaging. DIVIDED wishes to
encourage all composers working in these fields to submit
compositions knowing that their work will be seriously considered.

Please direct all correspodence to the above address.
