Issue No. 2: Archives
Our first print issue
For issue 2, we want to publish Sound Fields in print. And we’re going to do it on a shoestring, with your help.
Issue 2 is The Archives Issue — an attempt to reckon with the future of our field by engaging with the past. As we embark on our first print issue, we’re intrigued by ideas about how to make tangible the ephemera of sounds, of RSS feeds, of digital media. And we’re inviting our global network of fellow documentarians to consider: How does documentary audio intersect with the archive; and, How are we as audio documentarians archivists? Just like our first issue, you can expect essays and Q and As from some of the most groundbreaking audio documentarians working today.
We need your help!
We’ve launched a pre-sale campaign for issue 2 with the support of Union Docs.
Yes, we’re asking you to commit to supporting issue 2 before it exists! That’s because this is a 100% community-created project and we need you to pledge your support now so we can pay for design and printing. Thanks to the generous support of our friends at Transom, we are committed to paying an honorarium to all contributors (if you’d also like to donate to our honoraria and editorial fund - please choose a VIP reward!), but those of us behind the scenes are still all working on a volunteer basis.
Our goal is to pre-sell at least 200 copies so we can print and send you a beautiful art object of a journal in the spring of 2025.
