Unless we have already been in contact, submissions are now closed for this issue of Altered Scale. Submissions will open again in June 2012. As with any editor, I will choose how to order and arrange the pieces. I will do this work in a way to highlight the musicality of pieces by placing them in relation to others. This will be left implicit, and my editorial hand will be light.

I have an eclectic—I don't consider that a bad word—taste. I want to see work on any topic, not on music.
