Quick, think of the most iconic and respected recording studios in the world. Got your list? Who’s on it? Abbey Road? Hansa? Sunset Sound? Well, Converse have just announced the global launch of a monumental new program that could see you stepping into all of them and more.
Not only will you get to experience what it’s like being in their hallowed halls, the Converse Rubber Tracks program will offer aspiring musicians the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to record original music at 12 landmark studios, including the two Converse Rubber Tracks studios, at no cost.
Over a two-week period, Coverse Rubber tracks will activate across eight different countries in four continents. Global registration is open now and run through till Wednesday, 24th June via an online submission process.
Applicants are required to rank their top three studio preferences, and all are encouraged to enter a brief artist biography or description via a video or written application. If selected, chosen artists will be notified in early July.
Following a thorough planning session with studio producers, artists chosen will be taken to one of their studios of choice in September this year, with most travel accommodations arranged and select expenses covered by Converse – a dream come true in every sense.
The participating studios include Abbey Road Studios in London, England; Sunset Sound in Los Angeles, California; Hansa Tonstudio in Berlin, Germany; Tuff Gong in Kingston, Jamaica; Greenhouse Studios in Reykjavik, Iceland; and The Warehouse Studio in Vancouver, Canada.
Also involved are Avast Recording Co. in Seattle, Washington; Stankonia in Atlanta, Georgia; Studios 301 in Sydney, Australia; Toca do Bandido in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; Converse Rubber Tracks studio in Brooklyn, New York and a new studio in Boston, Massachusetts, slated to open this summer.
