SoundEscape Fund for Female Sonic Pioneers

Championing independent female music producers who craft original soundscapes with DAWs and push the boundaries of sonic

The SoundEscape Fund uplifts women who are reshaping music through intentional sound design. Whether layering real-world textures or composing entirely from scratch, these producers explore new ways to tell stories through sound. This fund supports projects that celebrate experimentation, creativity, and the beauty of building something truly original—one sound at a time.

Eligibility

We support independent female music producers who use digital audio workstations (DAWs) to create innovative and original sound-based projects. This fund centers sound design from scratch and welcomes a wide range of styles—from ambient to avant-garde—so long as they highlight creativity and intention.
To qualify for this fund, projects must meet the following eligibility requirements:
- Must include an external link to your audio submission
- Submission Priorities:
- Audio
- Who you are and why music is important to you
- Led by a woman who is an independent music producer
- Use a DAW (e.g., Ableton, FL Studio, Logic Pro) as a core part of the creative process
- Final composition must include at least 80% original sounds (not pre-made loops or stock samples)
- Incorporate elements of sound design using acoustic, vocal, instrumental, or environmental recordings
- Embrace a spirit of experimentation and creative risk-taking
- May span any genre, but must demonstrate a unique sonic voice or approach
