1. Please contact textura at editor[at]textura[dot]org regarding submissions, whether it be for reviews, mp3 downloads, and/or videos. (Currently there is an approximate gap of two months between the date a submission is accepted for review and the publication date.) If you are submitting material for review consideration, please appreciate that the number of review spaces is limited and that it is physically impossible to give coverage to all of the submissions made to textura.

2. If a physical copy of the submitted material is requested, textura will provide a mailing address; those interested in receiving reviews coverage are asked to contact textura via e-mail first and not send physical material until approval has been granted. textura does not review streams and recognizes no obligation to review submissions made without prior approval. Please note that only physical copies of releases are eligible for review.

3. Due to the large volume of submissions textura receives, it is impossible to respond to each message of enquiry, so no offence should be taken in the absence of a reply. Also, please submit your release once only for review consideration; repeat submissions for the same release will be ignored. If your submission is accepted for review, it will appear in the ‘upcoming' list above and a link to the review will be forwarded when published.

textura's premiere issue appeared in August 2004 and its 135th in June 2016; during that time, eleven advertising-free editions were published each year featuring experimental, electronic, jazz, and classical music-related reviews, interviews, and articles; in August 2016, textura retired the monthly format in favour of regular updating that sees new content—reviews, articles, mp3s, and videos—added throughout the month. In 2008, the textura label was founded, and five full-length recordings of original material have been released to date (details here).

textura is structured as follows: four articles and forty reviews are displayed on the reviews | articles page; when new articles and reviews are added, the earliest ones move to the site's archives, accessible from the label | archives page. Sixteen downloadable mp3s and ten videos appear on the mp3s | videos page; again, the newest mp3 and video additions displace the earliest ones (unlike articles and reviews content, mp3s and videos are not archived). The four header images on the pages following the opening display are designed to draw attention to recently reviewed recordings of exceptional quality.
