Last month, we announced the launch of Converse’s incredible new Rubber Tracks program, which gives 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.

Well, global registration is set to close one week from today on Wednesday, 24th June, so you don’t have long to get in on this incredible opportunity. To register, head on over to the official Converse Muse website.

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.

“Since we opened our first permanent Converse Rubber Tracks studio in Brooklyn four years ago, we’ve had aspirations to elevate this program even further, hoping to extend this opportunity to artists across the globe,” said Jed Lewis, Converse Global Music Marketing Director.

The artists selected to participate will have the opportunity to work with world-renowned producers and sound engineers, while being given access to industry-leading technology in studios that have hosted some of the most iconic acts in music history.
