A member-run network for
ambient artists
and listeners
Atmospheric Music Alliance (AMA) is a cooperative made of dedicated artists and listeners supporting independent ambient, drone, and atmospheric music. We host gatherings, fund projects, and share tools to help each other keep going.
HOW IT WORKS:
Choose a tier based on how involved you want to be. All memberships support programming, artist grants, and events.
- Shape the direction
Propose new projects, vote on grants, and join Town Halls. Members help decide where AMA goes next.
- Gather
We host live shows, virtual events, and low-stakes meetups across NYC, Chicago, Hudson Valley + beyond.
