The Dream

At CoDream Sound Lab, we unite musicians, songwriters, producers, and creatives to discover new dimensions of their creativity through collective expression. Through collaborative projects that challenge and uplift, artists reconnect with the truest form of their artistry.

The Vision

Over the course of several weeks to months, we’ll engage in weekly challenges—shaped by the island and each other—to inspire our writing and recording processes. Each artist will also have an Artist’s Week, a dedicated time to spotlight one of their original songs and bring it into the group for collaborative development and support. We’ll welcome surprise guest mentors, as well as invite your vision into the mix. If you feel called to host a writing session, share a skill, or lead a creative challenge, we encourage it. At the end of the residency, we’ll gather the strongest pieces and share them with the community in a live performance showcase.

The Lab

music made better together - with all that you need at your fingertips.

Our soundproof studio is equipped with state-of-the-art microphones, monitors, and multiple audio interfaces for seamless recording. You’ll find an inspiring lineup of instruments— keyboards, electric and acoustic guitars, plus a standout five-string Jacob Collier limited edition acoustic guitar. For hands-on music-making, we’ve got a playground of tools: Ableton Push, Ableton Move, Roland beat makers, a variety of MIDI controllers, looper stations, and everything under the moon with Ableton as our core software. Feel free to bring your own gear—whatever you’re most comfortable with is welcome here.

Dream. Create. Resonate
