Programs

Support for musicians and scholars

Two programs, one purpose: to help field research on Asian ethnic music become recordings, books, concerts and conversations.

Program 01

Artist Support Program

Our Artist Program, through our own record label See See Records and collaborations with other labels, is dedicated to helping artists produce and promote their work. Whether you are a musician or music producer engaged in field research, we provide support to transform your work into polished music productions.

We offer financial and production assistance, and through our connections with music venues we can facilitate tours, conversations and lectures about your field work.

What we offer

  • Production and recording funding
  • Publication through See See Records or partner labels
  • Concerts, tours, talks and lectures

Program 02

Scholar Support Program

Our Scholar Support Program offers financial and publication assistance to scholars researching Asian ethnomusicology. If you have research that you wish to publish, we can help you produce a book, assist with multilingual translations, and leverage our network to arrange lectures and conversations.

We also provide funding for conference submissions and support your attendance at these events, and can help you create online courses and websites to further disseminate your work.

What we offer

  • Book production and multilingual translation
  • Conference funding and attendance support
  • Lectures, online courses and websites
