We’re looking for new collaborators!
If you are a young musician/sound artist, or a young person interested in working in the music industry, we’d love for you to come and get involved with Tonetic Records.
What is Tonetic?
Tonetic Records is a creative music community that amplifies young voices. We provide an inclusive space for artists to: develop music skills, gain performance experience, connect with others, and access vital industry knowledge.
What will I do?
Develop music skills
We have a recording studio that artists can use easily, with access to a range of music software, including Logic Pro and Ableton Live as well as a variety of instruments to allow artists access to creative tools. You will also be able to consult Arts Education Exchange staff, who represent a wealth of experience in both production and songwriting.
Gain live performance experience
We will be putting on live events in the local area and online, and encourage you to get involved with all aspects of organising and facilitating these events, as well as having the opportunity to perform in a safe and supportive environment.
Connect with others
We’ll encourage you to collaborate within the label, and we’ll provide opportunities for collaboration with other local creatives, with a focus in sharing creative knowledge, advice, feedback and moments of joy. We want you to form meaningful connections that last. We’ll have monthly meet ups to talk about everyone’s ideas and plan events, as well as weekly studio time slots, and one to one drop in sessions with Tom, the label lead.
