Selected composers will be contacted in a couple of weeks for further steps. The album will be released in 2020. However, please note this does not guarantee that selected works will be released on the album series. If a selected recording doesn't have album quality, the composer will be asked to provide new high-quality recording. Also, composers should clarify the copyright ownership/authorization of the recordings, text, etc. They may need to obtain permission from the performers before we can proceed. Petrichor Records staff will get in touch with selected composers no later than February 28, 2020.

 

As mentioned above, due to the number of high-quality submissions, the selection process was a hard one for the artistic panel. They had to narrow down the list and put down some fine pieces. The fact that some of the submissions are not selected is therefore in no way a reflection on the quality of the works.

 

We wish to thank you all for submitting your recordings to the Petrichor Records Call for Recordings, and we hope you will consider submitting more pieces for the second series of albums in the near future.
