Atmospheric Music Alliance : Entretiens avec les artistes

The Atmospheric Music Alliance (AMA) is a cooperative network of ambient, drone and atmospheric music artists and listeners, operating under the StretchMetal 501(c)(3) nonprofit. AMA runs a series of community‑focused events, including live shows, workshops, grants and artist talks. The Artist Talks call invites creators working in ambient‑related practices to submit proposals for a talk that shares deeper perspectives on their process, research, or long‑term work. Proposals are submitted through a Google Form linked from the Digital Soup aggregator. While the form itself does not list a fixed deadline, the call appears to be open on a rolling basis, with selections made by AMA members or organizers. Accepted talks are presented to the AMA community, which spans members in New York City, Chicago, the Hudson Valley and online, offering exposure to a niche audience of listeners and fellow artists. No monetary prize or stipend is mentioned; the primary benefit is the opportunity to showcase work, engage with peers, and potentially strengthen one’s profile within the ambient music scene. Membership in AMA may be required to apply, though the exact eligibility criteria are not detailed on the form. The call is hosted by AMA, whose public page is on the StretchMetal website.
