PORTLAND ORE., July 10, 2013 - Boutique guitar pedal creators, Spaceman, have announced plans for a compilation album of music inspired by the company’s unique tone crafting devices.  Spaceman is now accepting submissions from musicians utilizing their products in recordings of original music.

“This is something I’ve really wanted to do for a long time.  I’m excited about giving back to the musicians that have supported Spaceman,” says Zak, Spaceman President.

The album will be sold only in vinyl LP format, packaged with a digital download code.  As to why vinyl only, Zak responds, “In addition to our focus on unique tone details, our pedals have a vintage aesthetic inside and out, so going analog fits with Spaceman.”

Net proceeds from sales of the album will go to a highly rated non-profit, providing music classes to students in US public schools that have been stripped of their music programs.  “Music class was extremely important to me growing up,” says Zak.  “Learning to create music with a large group of classmates was powerful, and I needed that creative break from the weight of school.  It was an absolute necessity for me.”

Musicians should visit the Spaceman website www.spacemaneffects.com/LP where they can find submission details.  Up to five tracks may be submitted per artist.  Music must be received by October 11th deadline for consideration.
