Submissions
The majority of artists on Linear Obsessional are invited to contribute to the label.
Important Note - as of August 2021 I am not accepting any new submissions.
I'm generally looking for music which fits within my own tastes- I'm interested in acoustic music, free improvisation, field recordings, modern composition, drone, music with lots of space, music of extraordinary density, experimental song form and traditional (folk) music.
I'm really not interested in modern dance music, rock music, "new age" music, drum machines and sequencers, or anything self described as "dark" or "transgressive". Of course rules are to be broken, and you can always chance your arm, but don't say you weren't warned.
Please note preference will always be given to invited and commissioned artists.
If you have music you'd like to be considered for release on Linear Obsessional you can contact me via the contact form below
As of January 2020 Linear Obsessional will only be releasing items in the Cassette Imprint, and as downloads. I will not be releasing any more CDs.
