OneBeat is an annual international music exchange program that gathers musicians to share and collaborate on musical ideas and projects. The program is an initiative of the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs in partnership with and produced by Bang on a Can's Found Sound Nation.[1]
The program selects around 25 musicians from hundreds of international applicants to participate in a two-week Artist-in-residence/residency, where they experiment with sounds, record and produce tracks, and implement workshops through brainstorming with local educators, organizers and entrepreneurs.[2][3] These compositions and workshops are taken on the road for a two-week-long tour of performances, youth workshops and public music.[4]
