Recording Sessions

1. Monthly (as schedules permit) a group of musicians is selected from the collective and brought to undefined studios to record A/V content.

 

2. All recording sessions are “closed sessions” wherein the entirety of the performance and capture are completed within a predetermined allotment of time (determined by engineer but typically 4 hours).

 

3. Content will be freely shared on all major social media platforms.

 

A. All collective content (final recordings) will be listened to by all collective members. This maintains unity and vision.

 

B. All collective content will be promoted by all members of the collective via social media sharing.

Live Performances

 

1. Quarterly (as schedules permit) performances will take place at Roboto Project (or other TBD location) under the name “Undefined: __your__group__” highlighting the diversity and originality of the collective at large.

 

2. Each ensemble must choose from the collective a different ensemble to perform as the first act. This is to ensure all members are given opportunity to perform live if they so choose. In addition, this ensures the musical community is exposed to new exciting music.
