A ten-week program to support sound practitioners in creative flow and putting music out into the world.

✔️ Step into a global music accountability community

✔️ A container to protect your sound practice every week

✔️ 3 X 3 hr classrooms (1st, middle and last week)

✔️ 10 weeks of activation sessions

✔️ Multiple sessions offered per week (TBD based on participants to accommodate for global timezones)

✔️ Weekly accountability partner assignments

✔️ A weekly activation plan structure for goal-setting

✔️ The occasional special guest speaker :)

The concept.

It’s simple. A group of music creators working on their sound practices meets on zoom for “study hall type working sessions” several times a week, over ten weeks. People are paired with a weekly accountability partner. This basic format of structure, accountability and community allows for folks to get done what otherwise wouldn’t be possible.

Now it’s time to do it again. Join the activation.

In the winter months, people are getting into hibernation mode. I see folks in my community struggling with the pressures of life and neglecting their Sound Practice. This can be a make it or break it time to get creative. If you’re someone who has the tendency to go into self-isolation (or even if you’re not), here’s an invitation to actually build with a sound-based community and be a vessel for yourself and others to put beautiful, important and meaningful works out in the world. This is a critical time for music and for our music. 

The outcome.

• Participants who’ve worked on things for years and never completed them, actually got them done

• Participants have gotten work pressed to vinyl, recorded them to tape or uploaded them to DSPs and threw them out into the world

• Fact: nearly every month since the completion of the last Activation in April has seen at least one former participant release an album or complete a project that they worked on in our sessions.  THIS IS NOT A COINCIDENCE.

Without stucture + Accountability

The fact is that people find incredible value in having a dedicated community of other music creators around them to consistently tap in with and hold them accountable to keep working, moving, building and creating. Simply put, it’s harder to hide out or put things on the back burner when you have folks around you, holding you to your word. What I’ve seen in the Activation is that those things that historically get in people’s way, get shifted and they are able to get back into action and bring their ideas and projects to completion.
