DEADLINE PASSED

To apply, please fill in the application form below.
Applications from the EU & UK

Collaborators will be chosen by our
team after the closing date.

We look forward to hearing from you.

More info about the residency…

What if… An Irish Rapper collaborates with a Parisienne harpist or a Dutch rock singer writes a track with an avant-garde German electronic composer, or even… A Spanish viola virtuoso composes alongside a Swedish lead guitarist?

You’re all welcome.

We’ll get you here, feed you, and make your stay in one of our rooms in the main house as comfortable as we possibly can.

Obviously, the collaborators will own the music rights for the work created, and Studio Faire Play will benefit from the plays and streams in accordance with ownership splits at YouTube and the streaming services via our label distributor (Tunecore).

Musicians deserve to be paid their correct split for the work they create and perform.

Studio Faire Play has a sustainable and ethical music industry ethos. We believe in transparent reporting and all relevant profit shares will be distributed accordingly.

YouTube channel to be kept up to date.
