Noctavé | Singapore | Flexible, Project-Based Opportunities

About Noctavé

Noctavé is building a growing network of instrumentalists, vocalists and musical ensembles to participate in recording projects and commissioned musical services for composers and clients.

Our goal is to connect musicians with suitable recording opportunities across a wide range of instruments, musical styles and ensemble configurations, while making professional-quality music recording more accessible.

We are currently recruiting musicians and musical groups based in Singapore, with plans to expand our network internationally in the future.

Who We're Looking For

We welcome applications from musicians of different backgrounds and experience levels, including:

• Instrumentalists and vocalists
• Music students and recent graduates
• Amateur and hobbyist musicians
• Emerging and professional performers
• Chamber music groups and string quartets
• Piano trios and other small ensembles
• Orchestral and wind ensemble players
• Choirs, bands and jazz ensembles
• Traditional Asian instrument and world music ensembles
• Other self-formed musical groups

There is no requirement to be a professional musician, attend a music school or have previous recording credits.Applicants must demonstrate sufficient musical ability through Noctavé’s audition process.

What You'll Do

Approved musicians and ensembles may be invited to participate in recording projects according to their instrumentation, musical suitability, availability, recording capabilities and project requirements.

Depending on the project, participants may be asked to:

• Perform assigned musical excerpts or commissioned compositions.
• Record music individually or as part of a self-formed ensemble.
• Follow musical instructions, recording guidelines and project deadlines.
• Submit recordings that meet the agreed musical and technical requirements.
• Communicate reliably with Noctavé throughout an accepted project.

Musicians may decline project offers that do not suit their availability. Once a project is accepted, participants are expected to fulfil the agreed commitment.

Flexible & Non-Exclusive Participation

Joining the Noctavé Instrumentalist Pool is voluntary, non-exclusive and project-based.

You are free to continue your studies, maintain other employment, teach, perform, freelance, collaborate with other ensembles and accept opportunities from other organisations. Noctavé does not require members to work exclusively with us.

There is no obligation to accept every project offered. You may choose whether to participate based on your availability, interests and existing commitments.

Membership does not guarantee a fixed number of projects or a regular income. However, once you accept a specific project, you are expected to fulfil the agreed requirements and deadlines.

Our aim is to provide additional paid recording opportunities while allowing musicians to maintain their existing musical and professional activities.

Compensation

This is a paid, project-based opportunity, with payment determined by the applicable musician tier and the duration of the completed recording.

• Standard Tier: US$4.99 per player per finished minute.
• Premium Tier: US$6.99 per player per finished minute.

Premium status is performance-based and may be awarded to musicians who meet Noctavé’s qualifying criteria, including consistent high ratings, completed projects and a strong reliability record.

Payment is subject to Noctavé’s project review and the applicable rating and payment policy, which will be provided to participants before they undertake projects.

Please note that joining the network does not guarantee a particular number of projects or a regular income.
