Ready to explore what happens when music and digital collide? Us too.
We’re looking for two artists with exciting ideas that need some time, space and money to develop them. Interested in using digital technology to develop the ways you create or perform music? We want to hear from you.

What kind of projects are we looking for?
We’re not picky when it comes to genres of music. We don’t have any particular topics in mind. The main thing we’re looking for is an interesting project idea that explores what happens when music and digital collide. Something that will stretch you as an artist and give you time to learn new skills.
We’re here to help you develop creatively and move forward with your career. Digital could apply to audio and sound, immersive and interactive technology, music tech, gaming, web, visuals, applications exploring augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), artificial intelligence etc. These are some examples but there may be others.
As a new kind of programming for us at The Glasshouse, we’re keen to discover new ideas and ways of working and presenting music along with you – supported by our expert partners who are leading the way in this field.
