Sustain the Drone is StretchMetal’s year-end fundraiser supporting StretchMetal and the Atmospheric Music Alliance (AMA) in the year ahead. Community support makes up about 60% percent of our annual budget. It’s what lets us pay artists, rent spaces for live programs, and record and release new work by emerging ambient artists.
