How to Submit a Field Recording to Moss Garden
Updated
Moss Garden accepts field recordings through a dedicated "Submit a Field Recording" entry on its site. After you send your audio, the page displays a "Thank you" confirmation, which tells you the submission went through. If you have an ambient recording captured outdoors or in a specific environment, this is the path to share it.
What Moss Garden Is Looking For
Moss Garden is described as ambient radio, and the submission entry is specifically for field recordings — audio captured in a real environment rather than studio-produced music or voice content.
That means your material should be:
- Recorded in a physical place — nature, weather, a room, a street, a machine, anything with a real acoustic setting
- Ambient in character — the sound of the place itself, not a performance aimed at a listener
- Audio you have the right to share — your own recording, or one you have permission to submit
If your file is a song, a podcast segment, or a voice-over, it does not match the "field recording" category this entry is built for.
How to Submit
- Prepare your recording. Export it as a standard audio file you can upload or attach. Keep the original capture as clean as possible — the point is the environment, not post-production.
- Go to the "Submit a Field Recording" entry on moss.garden.
- Provide the recording through the submission form or upload field presented there.
- Send it. Once submitted, the page returns a "Thank you" message.
That confirmation is the only completion signal documented on the site. If you do not see it, treat the submission as not completed and try again.
What the Site Does Not Specify
The available site information does not state:
- Accepted file formats or maximum file size
- Whether there is a length limit
- Whether submissions are reviewed, published, or used in broadcasts
- Any response time or follow-up contact
Because these details are not published, do not assume a timeline or outcome. Submit your best-quality field recording and rely on the "Thank you" page as your confirmation.
Practical Tips Before You Send
- Capture with minimal handling noise. Wind, cable rustle, and handling artifacts are the most common problems in field recordings.
- Keep a raw version. If the site later asks for a different format or length, you will have the untouched source.
- Name the file descriptively (for example,
rain-forest-dawn.wav) so it is identifiable if it is ever referenced. - Note where and when you recorded it. Even if the form does not ask, this context is useful if you are contacted.
