MUSICLANDRIA RESIDENCY PROGRAM

​

What the Residency Is

The MusicLandria Residency is a structured creative development program for musicians, sound artists, writers, and interdisciplinary creators to develop and complete focused work inside our space.

We support experimental music practices, hybrid percussion, and cross-disciplinary projects, with a strong emphasis on finished creative outcomes.

While open to a range of artists, we are especially aligned with:

• Hybrid and experimental drummers

• Cross-disciplinary collaborations (music, poetry, film, performance)

Residency Philosophy

MusicLandria residencies are designed for focused output, experimentation, and completion.

We are especially interested in artists working at the intersection of rhythm, technology, and narrative form, including hybrid drummers and percussion-driven creators exploring new formats of performance and recording.

Repeat Residencies
Artists who complete a residency and successfully finish their proposed project are welcome to apply again for future residencies. Each new residency must have a distinct project goal and timeline.MusicLandria residency work sessions are available Tuesday through Saturday, 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM.
