North Coast Modular Collective exists in order to increase the skill, knowledge, and accessibility of electronic music artistry through the development of music, instruments, and community.

North Coast Modular Collective (NCMC) advances electronic music artistry based on the values of equitable and inclusive socio-economic principles. We foster the growth of artists and makers by providing resources, community, and platforms for learning, making, sharing, and gaining exposure. We incubate the development of electronic instruments with the goal of increasing accessibility and equity for developing artists. We provide a platform for selling these instruments to a global market and use the proceeds to reinvest in the development of community, instruments, and music. We host events, such as workshops, concerts, drop-in studio and lab time in order to give people an opportunity to participate in the development of music and instruments at whatever level they are comfortable.

We value the processes of learning and teaching; curiosity and experimentation. We value inclusion and strive to make spaces where people feel comfortable asking any type of questions and learning through making “mistakes”. We value the free exchange of ideas in a judgment-free way. We value a sense of space and place and its connection with the community. We value inclusion over financial gain.
