Composers in Residence
Create something distinctly yours.
We’re inviting composers working in games, film, television, and other musical fields to explore GeoShred Studio through our Composers in Residence program.
This year-long residency offers complimentary software, personal support, a featured presence on our website, and opportunities to share your music and creative process. In exchange, we ask you to create original music featuring GeoShred Studio and share how you use it.
We’re interested in your musical voice, your ideas, and what you discover along the way.
The residency
The program runs for one year, giving you time to explore the instrument, develop a composition, and make GeoShred Studio part of your creative practice.
Your project might be a game character theme, a cinematic cue, an expressive solo, an electronic composition, or something we haven’t imagined yet. You choose the musical direction.
What you’ll receive
A complimentary GeoShred Studio license to keep after completing the residency.
Personal onboarding and support to help you incorporate GeoShred Studio into your workflow.
A featured presence on the GeoShred website including your photo, a short biography, examples of your music, and links to your website or professional channels.
Promotion of your residency project through GeoShred’s available channels.
An opportunity to help shape the product by sharing your experience and feedback.
Opportunities to connect with fellow residents and participate in a shared online showcase.
Projects involving a larger production or additional promotional commitments may be considered for a separately agreed paid commission.
What you’ll create and share
We’ll agree on your project and schedule together before the residency begins. Over the year, the core commitment includes:
