Ever wanted to record in the same studio as Kanye? The Beatles? Or maybe Bob Marley? With the launch of Converse’s Rubber Track program, you just might get your chance.
The new program gives aspiring musicians the chance to record at one of 12 landmark studios around the world for free. Registration is now open and consists of an online submission process that asks applicants to rank their top three studio preferences along with a biography or description via video or written application. Chosen artists will be notified in early July and after a planning session with studio producers, will be taken to one of their studios of choice in September.
Some of the highlights of the list of legendary studios are London’s Abbey Road Studios, Los Angeles’ Sunset Sound, Jamaica’s Tuff Gong and Sydney’s Studios 301.
The new program is part of Converse’s larger Rubber Tracks initiative, which was born out of the brand’s desire to give back to the music community and provide opportunities for artists who might not be able to afford studio time. Since Converse opened its Rubber Tracks studio in Brooklyn in 2011, over 900 artists have had the chance to record their music at no cost.
To view a full list of studios and submit an application, head over to theConverse Music website. Registration is open until Wednesday June 24.
