The Terms and Conditions
A quick guide for anyone wanting to send something in for The Dark Outside.
1. It has to be something that nobody else, or at least very few people have heard.
2. Try to keep the length under 20 minutes which means more people can take part.
3. Any style / genre / filetype* is welcome - as long as you’re happy with it.
4. See 1. If it’s a download only track, an unavailable previously released track, it’s on Soundcloud / Bandcamp / iTunes etc, Has a bazillion views on YouTube, “but I’m a Brit / Grammy Award winning artist with millions of fans around the world, just having my name attached will bring you publicity” then please don’t.
5. There’s a pecking order ( as there has always been ) - From High to Low : Things recorded specifically for it Things nobody has heard before Your new single / album track that’s released a few weeks after
6. the cut-off date for submissions is September 19th
7. EVERYTHING GETS DELETED After the broadcast finishes, I delete everything beyond the point of recovery. Any music or audio sent is entirely in the hands of their creators to do with what they like with them. Previously things have been lost forever - if you weren’t within earshot, you’ll never hear it again. Somethings have turned up on albums or singles or download, In some cases years later.
8. Someone might be listening. *
the higher quality the thing being broadcast is the better it’ll sound over a radio’s speaker. However, it’s your track, your choice and if you are happy with how it sounds, then I’m more than happy to include it.
