The OneBeat program is the result of a partnership between Found Sound Nation, Bang on a Can and the US Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.[1] The first program was held in 2012 and as a release states:
"OneBeat is an incubator for music-based social entrepreneurship where innovative musicians from around the world launch collaborative projects designed to make a positive impact on local and global communities. OneBeat is cultivating a groundbreaking international network of sonic change-makers, leading artistic, technological, and social innovation in music."[2]
The program selects around 25 musicians from hundreds of international applicants to participate in a two-week residency where they experiment with sounds, record and produce tracks, and implement workshops through brainstorming with local educators, organizers and entrepreneurs.[3][4] These compositions and workshops are taken on the road for a two-week-long tour of performances, youth workshops and public music making.[5]
