Independent Artist Collective — Est. 2019

NOVA
CORE COLLECTIVE

Eight artists, one signal. We build sound from the center out — electronic, bass, and voice work released on our own terms, from a shared studio core in the Pacific Northwest.

01 — Manifesto

What holds the core together

Not a label. Not a genre. A shared studio, a shared release calendar, and a rule that every member keeps their masters.

"We started Nova Core because eight of us were making better work in the same room than alone in eight different ones. The core is the room, not the sound."
