Overview of Outdoor Idea

Nepal needs more original music. This summer, The Music Foundry wants to give 3 Nepali bands/songwriters the opportunity to create original songs and perform live twice a month, wrapping up with an outdoor music festival with the bands along with the 9 songs they create for The Epitome Project.

The Specifics: What will the $5,000 fund?

The Epitome Project is a new kind of music residency in Kathmandu. Three working bands/songwriters from different genres will perform paid gigs (twice a month) and produce at least 1 original Nepali song per month. This will result in a total of 18 live shows and the creation of 9 new songs, which will be recorded for a live album.

The majority of the funds will go toward paying the musicians and engineers to help sustain themselves through music, while also providing the people of Kathmandu with quality live shows. This will also give the musicians the focus and motivation to create new songs.

The rest of the funds will go toward promo materials, live recording, and admin costs.

The goal is to support our local musicians.
