Monthly check-in for music producers, sound designers, educators, and audio professionals in and around Traverse City. No agenda. Just caffeine and conversation.
TC Audio Collective started because Northern Michigan is full of remarkable people doing remarkable things with sound — and most of them don't know each other. We meet once a month to share gripes, raves, and gear talk; listen to each other's work; and stay connected through the winters that make isolation feel default.
We draw professionals from NMC, Interlochen, and beyond — producers, composers, implementers, educators, film audio folks, and the occasional curious human who just loves sound.
If you work in or around audio — professionally, academically, or obsessively — you belong here. We've had game audio engineers, podcast producers, recording instructors, composers, and sound designers all in the same room. The bar is: you care about sound.
Drop us a line and we'll add you to the invite list. Free to attend, hosted in Traverse City, completely informal.
TCAC is free to attend and costs real money to run. If your brand or organization wants to connect directly with Northern Michigan's audio and music technology community, sponsoring a month is a clean, low-friction way in.
Sponsorship includes logo placement, verbal acknowledgment at meetups, and inclusion in event communications. Get in touch: tedkocher@gmail.com
