GENERAL INFO
Field In Stream releases have the following paramaters:
(1) audio must contain field recordings
(2) any other accompaniment/audio should be minimalist
or ambient in approach
(3) there should be a general theme to the field recordings,
either by location or by subject matter
(4) target length for a finished piece is 60-74 minutes
any number of tracks, none less than 30 seconds long
(5) there will be a short-run CDr component and
releases will go to streaming services
(6) artwork for each release consists of three images
(photos or other art) with no type
(7) we will set type where appropriate on the CDr inlay to maintain
a degree of uniformity plus add a yellow dot to front cover
(8) all release titles will be in the format of either THE xxx AMBIENT
GUIDE or THE AMBIENT xxx GUIDE, track titles are flexible

FINISHED DELIVERABLES OR COLLABORATION

We view Field In Stream as memberless collaboration.
If you want to handle all the audio and the three photos, great.
Or just the tracks. We will also take just field recordings or
ambient tracks or photos we like and get them into the hands of
another collaborator. Tells us what you've got (or what you're
looking for) and we'll see if someone else has the other piece(s).

SPECS FOR DELIVERABLES

Do not send anything without arranging it first.
We love you, but our server can only handle so much at a time.
(1) "finished" audio files: stereo 44.1kHz .wav (preferred) or .aif(f) files
(2) "component" audio files can be discussed between collaborators
(3) photos (or image art) need to be print resolution,
preferably 300dpi at size printed
(front and insert flap are 5"-ish plus bleed, insert panel is
6" X 4 5/8"-ish plus bleed --> let us know if you need further explanation).

WHO OWNS THE FINISHED PRODUCT?

In short, the contributor(s) own the intellectual property and
the Secular Pineapple label owns the right to distribute
the finished product. It should be pretty obvious that this
is a mighty niche project and wouldn't normally be considered
a financially-motivated venture. That said, Fractional Farthing
tracks the income and expenses on every Secular Pineapple release
and tiny bits of money do get paid out from time to time
if there's a profit (details vary by release and can be specified
when the components are known).

Contact by email distro [at] fractionalfarthing [dot] com
(again, NO ATTACHMENTS PLEASE, tells us what's up first).
Or DM @SecularP (twitter) or @ffdistro (facebook).
