 Matadero Madrid and Red Bull join forces again to put together an unprecedented project in Madrid: to provide work spaces and equipment for the city's new musicians or musical ventures.  From October to December- for twelve weeks- the Nave de Música (the Music Hall) will take in six music projects (collective and individual), regardless of their genre or style, that are actively working in Madrid.

This project has set out to stimulate creation, production and innovation among musicians on the local scene, aiding them in the development of their music projects- free of charge- by providing them with the resources that the Nave de Música has and offering them support in the distribution of their work. Upon completion of their residency period, those selected will have the opportunity to record the fruit of their labor in the Red Bull Studio, which features the technical professional equipment required to record and additionally features the presence of a sound technician. In addition, those selected will be have a public presentation for their work on one of the stages at the Nave de Música: an activity that will be included in the Matadero Madrid official programme. Proposals must be sent as a digital document to the following e-mail address: residencias@mataderomadrid.org, with the following written in the subject line: “Open call for residencies for musicians”.
