Alt Minds Vol. 1 — A compilation for neurodivergent artists

A compilation for neurodivergent artists

Alt sounds for alt minds.

Alt Minds is a new compilation series from Tenderloin Music, built for neurodivergent musicians sitting on tracks that deserve to be finished and heard.

If you've got stems going nowhere, or a track that's mixed but never found a home - this is for you. We mix and master for free, release it properly, and split the money fairly. No hoops, no gatekeeping.

Vol. 1: Nighttime Signals is the first of what we hope will be an ongoing series - electronic, post-rock, folk and everything that sits in the cracks between them. Think [reference: 2-3 existing Tenderloin releases or artists that define the vibe you're after].

Who this is for

Neurodivergent artists - autistic, ADHD, dyslexic, dyspraxic, OCD, Tourette's, or any other way you identify. No diagnosis required. We work on trust: if you see yourself in this community, you're in.

18+, based anywhere in the world.

What you get

Free mixing and mastering if you need it - send us stems and a rough mix, we take it from there.
A real release - Bandcamp, streaming, part of a curated compilation with its own identity.
Visibility - Tenderloin Radio, blog, socials, told properly and without the poverty-porn angle a lot of "inclusive" music projects fall into.
A community - a space with other artists going through the same thing, not just a Discord that dies after launch.

The sound

We're curating for cohesion, not just quota. [1-2 sentences on what "cohesive and alt" actually sounds like - genre-agnostic but describe the mood/texture you're after.]

How it works

Two kinds of slots: Support (you're not finished, we help you get there) and Community (you're mixed and ready, we release it). Full details, deadlines and the legal stuff are on the [Alt Minds terms page ->].
