One profile. Total sovereignty.
The Distributed Section takes you from playing solo at home to running your whole musical career from a single dashboard. We stripped away the corporate middle layers, the expensive software subscriptions, and the technical bottlenecks. Here is exactly how the ecosystem works for you from the second you step inside.
Join the global section
Create your free account, pick your instruments, and set your location. You instantly unlock your Sovereign Dashboard, your command centre for recording, learning, designing, and earning. No credit cards, no hidden paywalls, no trial periods.
Set up your profile →Step into the studio, or build your own
Whether you want to play on our records or manufacture your own, the platform provides the infrastructure.
- Audition for flagship projects. Head to the Live Audition Feed, download backing tracks and charts, plug in your mic, and record your horn straight through your web browser. No heavy DAW required.
- Launch your own studio. Take the producer's chair, open a Project Studio, upload your scratch tracks, and open chairs for our global network to record your horn sections, big bands, or orchestral arrangements.
- Automated royalties. Once a track is finalised, the portal handles global distribution to Spotify, Apple Music, and vinyl pressing. Smart contracts route streaming splits automatically to every contributing player's wallet.
Mobilise for live gigs
The platform is designed to get you off the screen and back on the stage.
- Drop your pin on our geo-located directory. Event planners, wedding acts, big bands, and touring artists hire individual players or book fully rehearsed sections.
- Client payments sit safely in platform escrow and drop into your wallet the second the gig is marked complete.
Monetise your craft at the Academy
You do not only make money from live performance. Monetise your hard-earned knowledge.
- Launch your own live-audio masterclass channel. Our video rooms run high-fidelity, low-latency audio tuned for live instruments, not just speech.
- Set your own ticket prices, offer one-to-one private lessons, exchange charts peer-to-peer, and accept live digital tips through your profile.
Manufacture design and merch
No expensive graphic designers. No complicated web store.
- The Design Engine. A built-in, drag-and-drop vector suite for vintage-style album artwork, gig posters, and brand logos in minutes.
- The Zero-Inventory Bazaar. Put your art on t-shirts, hoodies, vinyl mockups, and posters. The platform builds a storefront on your profile, and our print-on-demand backend prints and ships every order. You keep the profit.
Listen
This is the sound we are bringing back.
This is where musicians run the whole career, not the middlemen. Practise the charts for free, audition for a section, and submit for the work. Build your brand, spotlight your wins, teach what you know, and design, produce and sell your own merch. Get booked for gigs and cut whole albums, with no label or platform skimming the top. Let’s be honest: nobody loves Spotify. This is the opposite of that.
How it works
We love technology. We just love musicians more.
A synth patch is cheaper, it is faster, and it never asks for its cut. But a sample is just a photograph of a fire: it looks the part, but it cannot warm the room.
While the streaming industry quietly swaps out real brass for lines of AI-generated code, millions of us still spend hours every single day sweating over wood, metal, and wire, mastering a physical instrument. They want a frictionless, automated soundtrack. We want a living, breathing culture.
We built The Distributed Section to give those players the ultimate analogue weapon: a complete, sovereign infrastructure to run your professional career on your own terms.
Practise & arrange
Turn your living room into an elite rehearsal studio with advanced, adaptive tools.
Collaborate & record
Bridge the distance between musicians worldwide, capturing the warmth of live tracking without the friction.
Publish & design
Build your brand, design striking merchandise, and get your music out into the world without selling your soul to a label.
Monetise & teach
Diversify your income by launching online courses and digital experiences that honour your craft.
The maths the labels hide
The maths the labels hide.
Streaming platforms pay a fraction of a penny and pocket the rest. Middle layers take a tollbooth on a road they didn’t build. We don’t play that game.
Everything on the platform is completely free to use. No monthly subscriptions, no paywalls, and no setup fees. We only take a transparent 12% infrastructure commission when you make money, whether that is a lesson sold, a shirt shipped, or a recording track locked into a mix. Every other penny is shown transparently, and the remaining 88% is yours.
This isn’t about what a platform takes. It’s about giving real musicians the keys to keep a living tradition fat, acoustic, and dangerous.
