A new online audio drama that chronicles the pressure, joy, and intimacy of music-making.

The Diamond Peak Studio Sessions Immersive Event - Main Image

Diamond Peak Studio in Oregon has produced some of the greatest pop music records of all time. When five bands visit the illustrious studio to record their next albums, the microphones never stop recording – capturing everything from guitar riffs and vocal runs, to bold confessions and sudden breakdowns. The Diamond Peak Studio Sessions chronicles the pressure, joy, and intimacy of creation, examining how, for these bands, music and lyrics are only half the story. This production, which features pre-recorded dialogue as well as original music, is a brand new audio experience hosted on a specially designed website. Recommended for 16+. Contains discussions of drug/alcohol abuse, grief, self-harm, suicide, eating disorders, and homophobia. Conceived by The Strides Collective, with the mission of embracing the queer experience through authentic, modern, and innovative storytelling.
