PERFORM
#BEDROOMSTUDIOS
For the past six years, open-air recording studios have appeared on sidewalks in cities around the world on June 21st to celebrate Make Music Day. In these Street Studio Cities, pioneered by Found Sound Nation and Harman, world-class DJs and producers invited passers-by to contribute to a spontaneous music production session, using only the audio recorded on the spot.
This year, while people around the world are staying safer at home, producers will continue this tradition with Bedroom Studios – live-streaming their production process from home, while creating a collaborative track with short audio clips sent in by viewers.
Bedroom Studios will offer a window into music production, and the challenge of producing with completely unknown inputs, bringing music makers together from bedroom to bedroom. For more information click here
#GLOBALLIVESTREAM
On June 21, music rings out simultaneously across more than 120 countries. Whether you are beneath a skyscraper in Beijing or along the shore of a small Greek fishing village, you will find people making music.

MAKE MUSIC ALLIANCE: Making music, all over the city
Make Music Day is celebrated on June 21st Summer Solstice in 26 states in the U.S. and across the globe from France, where it began, to South America, Australia, and China. This is a holiday that anyone can celebrate, is now in over 30 countries worldwide. As a community, we can participate in our love of making music together.
Until this year, the celebration has not been observed in New Mexico.
The Las Cruces Make Music Day organizing team is preparing our inaugural event on June 21st 2020.
Make Music Day is not quite a music festival, because it’s not confined to one location. And it’s not completely “organized,”
since musicians don’t need official permission to perform in public.
As Aaron Friedman, executive director of the Make Music Alliance says, “Make Music Day is kind of like Halloween for music
– a day when regular folks are given permission to get out in the streets and share their love of music.”
Stay tuned to this page and our Facebook page to learn more!
