Csound Magazine is looking for contributors and suggestions. Articles can be in html format with pictures as either gif's or jpg's. Word format is also acceptable. Sound samples can be included as either .au, .aiff, .wav or mp3. The articles should be informal although a few equations are usually helpful in understanding things. Csound magazine will be published quarterly. Back issues will remain available on the web as long as space allows it. Contributors will not be paid and the magazine will not have any advertisements.
