Cambiata Arts invites composers, sound artists, and creative musicians to submit contemporary recorded works for “Phantomnesis”, a curatorial project exploring sonic memory and cultural resonance. The call seeks pieces that explore the forgotten, the near-forgotten, and the reimagined—works that bring neglected musical systems, regional practices, extinct gestures, or overlooked aesthetic pathways into today’s listening.

In keeping with Cambiata Arts’ commitment to openness and inclusivity, all publishing and promotional costs are waived to ensure that individual artists’ voices can reach wider audiences without barriers. Submitted tracks will be carefully evaluated and categorized by aesthetic approach, cultural framework, and artistic intent. Selected works will be curated into a series of compilation albums released by CambiataArt Records, and all participating artists will receive tailored support and visibility through Cambiata Arts’ promotional platforms and partner networks throughout 2026.
