In cooperation with A.M.I. Aide aux Musiques Innovatrices, Musicboard offers a residency in Marseille, France to a Berlin-based pop musician or duo. The residency is particularly suitable for musicians working in electronic and experimental music. It gives the residents the opportunity to rehearse, prepare an album or tour in the rehearsal studios of A.M.I. The residency can be accompanied by a coaching through Le Studio des Variétés. The coaching takes place in Marseille or Paris and is tailored to the musician’s individual needs.
Eligible to apply are:
Stay in Marseille: 2 to 3 weeks in June/July 2021
The exact period of the residency will be coordinated between the cooperation partners and the selected musicians.
A.M.I. has been active in a multiplicity of ways within music, culture, and the creative industries since 1985. In addition to organising the MIMI festival, A.M.I. assists innovative initiatives in music and related fields, at both the local and international levels. A.M.I. has also been involved in realising the creative center La Friche la Belle de Mai, a pioneering spatial project for more than 70 creative parties in a former tobacco factory in northern Marseille. At La Friche, A.M.I. operates six rehearsal studios for creative residencies and a cultural incubator for music initiatives, and regularly organises artistic workshops and other cultural activities.
During the residency in Marseille, the Musicboard residents can use A.M.I.’s rehearsal studios at La Friche la Belle de Mai. These rooms are well-suited for rehearsing, building up repertoire, working on live sets, or preparing an album or tour. A selection of technical equipment can be provided through A.M.I. upon request. The residency can be accompanied by a coaching through Le Studio des Variétés in Marseille or Paris. Le Studio des Variétés is an artist coaching center for pop and jazz musicians. Coaching at Le Studio des Variétés is always individually tailored to the musician’s needs and can, for example, encompass vocal training, stage performance, production, songwriting, media training, or help with project structuring. The coaches are well acquainted with the field, have artistic backgrounds themselves, and have all completed a special coaching training. More information about the coaching by Le Studio des Variétés is available here. The Marseille residency usually concludes with a live performance by the Musicboard resident.
