The title ‘Flow: call out for submissions’ against a background image of flowing water, with the EarthSonic logo and url earthsonic.org

The text reads “We are inviting submissions of sounds of water, which will be made available for use by the artists creating the album. Your sounds could be featured on these brand new tracks, woven into the music that carries water’s stories to the world.” The background is a black and white image of a man shaking water from his head.

A text block on a blue-green gradient background reads “Call out for submissions: This could be: * A musical piece using water or inspired by it * A sound from an instrument * A raw audio recording of a stream, rain, or ocean * A story, poem, wisdom or call to action * A sound from your instrument that speaks of water’s essence We welcome contributions from all backgrounds, countries, cultures and communities.” Background shows abstract, wave-like patterns in grayscale.

Are you a musician, singer, storyteller, activist - or simply someone moved by the relationship between water and climate change?

Join our new global project Flow, which seeks to tell the diverse stories of water through music, by submitting your sounds of water.

An image of Bashar Murad on stage with a Keffiyah scarf, with the IPOW logo and text overlaid that reads: “As a Palestinian, and simply as a human being, I believe the world must filter out the noise and confront the truth: a genocide is unfolding in Gaza. “At the heart of this are people — families, children, entire generations — who have been deemed undeserving of life, freedom, and justice. While headlines distract and narratives compete, a population is being erased in real time. “I want to live in a world where every child is allowed to dream big, not be condemned to death before they are even born.”

Bashar Murad sits on our Artist Advisory Board and we are honoured to work with him.
