Agenda
We start with a curated jam session (InTone) involving the Tones Collective. It’s a warm-up and a space to connect. The genre mix is chosen by the collective.
Then comes ReTone: 4–5 Featured Artists each bring two different songs.
SONG 1: SIGNATURE TRACK (no collab)
The first song is performed as originally released, allowing the audience to experience the artist's authentic sound and identity while giving the artist a fair opportunity to showcase their true sound.
SONG 2: COLLAB TRACK
The second song features a simpler, song designed for collaboration. The Tones Collective and the Featured Artist collab on it together, creating a new version.
The collab songs are selected in advance and shared in a session alignment group for individual preparation.
Then comes AllTones — a final collective jam bringing as many musicians as possible into one shared performance.
WE GO FULL RISK
The aim is to bring many musicians together, with the possibility of including audience members to have one shared jam together.
AllTone only takes place if there is enough time at the end of ReTone. It is performed as one unique live take — no rehearsal, no second attempt. (Artist form + Approval required)
Afterwards, selected jam highlights and full songs — or standout moments — are produced and collectively shared online, supporting mutual growth.
